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...
