these too shall pass, they said
still, I have to live it through
ironic how my mind knows enough
but my heart is still a child
a fool.
it cries to all the bad happens
it aches and tears my soul
please calm yourself, little
that’s just how life is,
when you grow.
can’t shed tears over every obstacle
can’t wish for death every time feel low
can’t run away from all the pain
take a deep breath…
and move forward, no matter how slow.
