This too shall pass


The air around me drips with disappointment
I can feel failure lapping at my heels like an ocean tide
Patiently gently biding its time
Building up to a crescendo that will overtake me and pull me in at a moment’s notice

The panic in my head is inescapable
I think that this is what is to be a gazelle
Stalked by the inevitable with no end in sight
Painfully aware of the end that awaits you

Or maybe more like a train
An out-of-control over-fuelled freight train
Speeding along the track and seeing the break in the rails just a little too late

But somehow I persevere
I remind myself of all the good days I’ve had and realize that
It was only a matter of time before I had a bad day

Somehow I remind myself to see beyond the now
To keep in mind that this too shall pass

Somehow I suck it in and take life’s beating for the day
Because I know that deep inside, tomorrow will come
And it can’t possibly be the same as today
This too shall pass
