Villanelle: A Slave to Pain

The days go on each day is longer
Does nature change or stay the same
On an endless path I slowly wander

Though it should make me stronger
I have become a slave to pain
The days go on each day is longer

Lost once more I turn a corner
Searching for answers instead of blame
On an endless path I slowly wander

When focused I am stricken by sonder
For selfishness is hard to tame
The days go on each day is longer

If not the man; am I the monster
For what is in a nature is in a name
The days go on each day is longer
And on an endless path I slowly wander
