Though I am down and bear a frown
Because words of sword are always painful
And rejection is always sorrowful.

Revised with the help of Mr. Luke Easter:

Such loud thunders of a storm have now passed
But all of these things we've surely surpassed;
No storm or typhoon can break our strong bones,
No wind or force can destroy our firm homes.

When brightness escapes into the night sky?
Is there a cradle the stars call their nest
Where they can leave the sadness that passed by?
...

You are hearing these noises.
From your head there are voices.
You imagine something despicable.
These things do not make you stable.
