rigmarole

u have to be yourself
for wat may come
talk about the rigmarole
desperate to talk
they ask all about it
but u fear that it is unfathomable
that they may make it ossified
but fiend truth it is
u have to hold back those tears
and smile through the pain
u have to be robust
else it will proliferate
drift away the pain
and have to smile in vague
it pains and it drains
u have to see through it
no matter what it takes 
to go through it
