I didn't choose this
This sorrow
This pain
I never wanted it

I didn't look for these hurts
the bumps
and the bruises that come

These tears
and the upsets
I never asked for them

I didn't desire this
the shame
and the anger
I never sought it

I've tried to rise above it
But the water is deeper
than it looks
And I've tried to get around it
but the distance is greater
than I thought

No, I didn't choose this
I didn't look for it
and I didn't seek it out

But it's happened just the same

And I can't rise above it
Or even get around it

So God help me
As I do
the only thing that's left
for me to do...

Go through it

If I don't say it...who will?
