This Too Shall Pass - a Mara Prose Poem

Trying to numb this pain to keep from going insane Trying to rebuild my life without the strife Trying to lose myself in a haze while praying for lesser long days Want to feel like myself again and watch the stars roll by again Want to feel peace deep within me, want the suffering to just let me be Can't I feel the sun again, have fun again, be one again? I need a break before I break because I've had about all I can take Can't let you see the cracks since very few actually have my back Can't let myself be torn down, can't let you see me frown, I'm not your clown I'm working hard to elevate, not sedate and just relate Trying my best to forget but not regret and remain set Give me space, let me breathe please Eventually you will be relieved for this too shall pass... ~ Author Mara Prose
