The gods

Do the gods cry out to you?

Do they direct

Instruct

Command

Guide

Do they weep in your name?

Do the clouds shift with your breath?

Does the wind understand the leaves?

Does your cheek understand the tear?

Does the world understand your fear?

Fragile

Will it shatter?

Will the gods wash away everything?

To begin anew

I pretend I'm okay

I watch the clouds

I cannot succumb to my own darkness 

I never asked for this

I try to understand the gods 

Every second of everyday I tell myself I'm okay

I tell the clouds

They understand my fragility
