This Too Shall Pass

...An ode to the hard times

Days when I wake up,

I wish I couldn't have.

Nights when I can't sleep,

I wish, I could have. 

The days seem longer 

The nights so short. 

So much in the head, 

Lots in heart, 

People to listen, 

People to laugh,

But hardly anyone 

Who can feel my loss. 

 I wait for dawn 

To smile a little, 

I wait for night 

To sob with an open heart.

And there's a voice,

Not loud, nor harsh 

That whispers amidst silence 

Often for hours, 

Like an angel from afar, 

"Don't be disheartened, 

Don't breath in, so deep 

These loss, 

Smile a little, 

try giggling A lot. 

I know it's hard, 

I know it's hard 

But smiling sometimes 

Heals all scars."  

"You worked a lot, 

You wept a lot, 

I know, 

I know  

You worked a lot. 

All this work, 

all these sweat, 

You've shed with all you heart 

But sigh* , you've still, still lost a lot." 

Wipe off your tears 

Meet this world 

You've imprisoned you, 

In yourself so much this far. 

It's time to smile, 

And stop breathing a word 

About your loss 

There are many suffering,

They suffer a lot. 

start working bravely, 

Like you've never smelt loss. 

Forget these worries, 

Forget the pain, 

Forget all the doubts 

You have in your brain. 

Remember, remember, 

It's all a part, 

A part of a grand game, 

of this world.

No need to worry 

And don't feel shame

We learn from mistakes, 

We all are the same. 

The more the struggles, 

The more is the loss, 

But once you remember, 

"You're greater, happier,  

And a braver heart. 

These pains, 

Are  just a scar! 

That sure are a creature 

Creature, of some hours.  

Stay calm, 

Stay cool, 

Don't lose your heart 

This too shall pass 

This too, shall pass.

I like the way you've crafted this to sound like a conversation that a person might have with him/herself. We often argue with ourselves, expressing the tension between our "upbeat" inner self & the other one who is deeply wounded by so much of life. You've showed us these aspects of how it feels without excess drama . . . stated rather dispassionately, in fact, which I prefer becuz life is what it is. We get dealt the cards we have & sometimes our dramatic responses to life are worse than what has actually been experienced in life. Good advice given gently & with relatable examples (((HUGS)))

You could tell it's random, not that it's a bad thing to have some randomness in life. It grabs you at times but other times I got lost in translation. It's very clear the internal conflict but the tight grip loosened the deeper it went. Perhaps you could turn something good into epic, or just allow it to be good.

Great read.

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts bout the write-up, Matthew.I agree there may be certain flaws in the piece ( I direct wrote it here itself and didn't go through it that deep, reading rereading because that could otherwise cause the piece to lose that intense conflict part) btw I'll be more than glad if you can help me to make this piece more intense and meaningful, by sending me your suggestions on how can I improve it.

I'll be more be than glad, if you do that favor to me😊
Thankyou, Matthew.

Sincerely,
