“THIS TOO SHALL PASS”

Out of control
Circling the drain
Can’t make it stop
The fear and the pain.

“This too shall pass”
But, just don’t know when
It keeps right on coming
Again and again.

Over the top 
Out of my mind
I need some relief
So tired of crying.

Nowhere to go
No sanction
My burden’s too much
Too heavy to carry.

Gotta lay down
Put up my shield
I’m overwhelmed

Need time to heal.

Looking for peace
Got to step away
Need time alone
To reflect and to pray.
