This too shall pass

Shelbi Marquardt

There is a time for sleep
A time for rest
No matter how deep
We try our best

Drowning in bills
Working to the bone
We crave thrills
Yet feel alone

Trying to count our blessings
Seems ever so few
Just keep on stressing
Don't know what to do

All of the struggles so real
This too shall pass
Right now pain is what we feel
But it won't last

Keep pushing through
Head held up high
This can be hard to do
But everything will be alright
