Devas

When they finally become self-aware,
It will be too late to show how they do care.
But at the very least they still try to be there
For the empath who always lays their soul bare.

Hmm, are you the Diva, or the Empath? or both? An interesting take on it all. Deva is a Sanskrit term for a "divine being" or "god," while "Diva" refers to a star or a prominent performer, especially a woman. I prefer "Diva", empathetically speaking, of course. Beautifully written.
