This Will Soon Pass

I consider myself an eternal optimist…though I’ve been put in a lion’s den sometimes, it doesn’t put my soul in a trap. I always make it a point to stand up, and gather any spark of strength left in my veins to go on with the fight. After all, things like these in our lives always happen but will soon pass. And it did…and it always will, believe me!

This Will Soon Pass…

The tunnel seems so dark; I don’t see where the road leads
The heart seems so numb; I don’t feel where the pain goes
Deafening silence can be heard from the inside, it suffocates
Screaming out loud I cannot do, agony it intensifies
No words can comfort me; neither any touch can ease the hurting
Everything seems hopeless; I cannot cling to any vine of longing

Giving up seems to be an easy way out
Should I hold on and suffer?
Or should I let go and die?
Sometimes I fall
Sometimes I falter
Sometimes I am drifting
Sometimes I am denying
Sometimes I cease from hoping
Sometimes I hold back my faith from moving
But I don’t lose my soul
For I know, things like these will soon pass.
