This Too Shall Pass




Endlessly have I been thinking
On series of things that are weighing me down
In circles does my mind wander
As my eyes glister with tears

Day and night do I ruminate over it
Searching hardly for an escape route
But in despair do I wake
Leaving me no moment of joy

Slowly is it spreading over me
Like the venom of a scorpion
Encroaching into my daily routine
Giving me a round-the-clock depressed face

Now I'm pacing back and forth
In a room measured in feets
Sinking and rising like a submarine
Lost in the heart of the ocean

But suddenly did a light flash through my face
Reminding me of the "light and tunnel" saying
Slowly did I raise my face in this hope
Knowing that this will also pass
