I dread trials and tribulations. I admit it.
It's a time of hardship, a time where I would feel my worst.
It is that period where one is vulnerable, emotionally and mentally.
It's not easy to go through it alone. You need more than good friends by your side to encourage you.
When it comes,
We look into the sky, we close our eyes.
We whisper words of prayer, we press replay.
We seek divine intervention, we seek human intervention.

We sleep, hoping everything would change like in fairytales.
When it doesn't, we walk through life with a magnified senses.
Somehow this time, we can hear every word that is said.
Something that didn't happen before. Have we become better listeners?
And yet we have become part-time consolers as well. Have our concern grew?

We try to put on a false front. Nothing happened, really.
We fight back recollections of the past as questions are raised.
We try to be normal. We try to be not normal. We contradict ourselves.
Emotions reach threshold, dams burst, volcanoes erupt.
1st action: Run.
Like a labyrinth, we get lost in the morass.

Clearly someone out there has the answer.
