This Too Shall Pass

When the skies grow darker and the sun no longer glows

Your heart sinks every second, you chill to your toes

Afraid what to do, wondering whom to ask

Hold yourself tight girl, for this too shall pass

Your head can’t answer what your heart needs to know

You still pose a hundred questions and just won’t let it go

But the future will unfold soon, to make this present- your past

Until then, stay strong girl, for this too shall pass

You can’t change your yesterday or jump into a stable tomorrow

You will have to see yourself through today, its joy and sorrow

But what you can change is, how you look at this moment’s glass

If you try to see it half-filled girl, this too shall pass

A stuck mind, a broken heart, a false promise, or a blatant lie

Time will reason it all, and answer your what, what not and why

So if you grip yourself now, across the dark shadows’ cast

You’ll see the sunlight coming, girl.. and this too.... shall pass...
