When something
leaves my hands,

When something
I love dissolves
or is removed,

Protect me from
the illusion
that I have
been diminished.

When I am
not chosen,

When doors
close or
remain unopend,

Protect me from
the illusion
that I am
unworthy.

When I am
stripped of
comfort,

When what felt
secure begins
to shift,

Protect me from
the illusion
that I am
unsafe.

When I feel
the ache of
absence,

When presence
turns to
memory,

Protect me from
the illusion
that love has
left me.

When I cannot
see the way
forward,

When I am asked
to stand in the
unknown,

Protect me
from the illusion
that I am
lost.

When life
removes what
I clung to,

When I am asked
to release what
I held tightly,

Protect me from
the illusion
that I am being
deprived.

When I
feel alone,

When distance
appears between
myself and others,

Protect me from
the illusion
that I am
separate.
