Now... I want you to delve deep down into the depths of your despair
Where the only place to hide, is deep within a prayer
And I want you to tell me what you find
What you least expected there
Is it as bad as you had imagined
Is it a pain of the most rare?
Is it a festering wound thriving
a sight that would really cause a scare?
Is it an unbearable burden
that leaves you the worse for wear?
Are you strangled and debilitated
by the suffocation, the lack of air?
Is it a perpetually pitted path
that even the strides of sorrow must beware?
Is it a monsoon crashing
whose destruction has no care?
Is it a ravenous hungered animal
like a rabid, wild, three-headed grizzly bear?
Is it so horrendously horrible
that spoken words would never dare?
Do you ever walk around and wonder
if it is ever revealed from within your stare?
Are you so destroyed and damaged
knowing that life is never fair?
What you will eventually come to realize
is that it is only but a microscopic tear
