This Too Shall Pass



People come and go,
They change your life,
Sometimes for the best,
Sometimes for the worst,
Take it all in stride,
As this too shall pass,
It is what it is,
Don't drown your vibe for their selfishness,
Lift yourself up and soar above it all,
Pick yourself up and build a better you,
Take the love with the hate,
As it's all in your master plan,
Words and actions may hurt,
But don't let them kill your soul,
At the end of the day,
All we have is ourselves,
You can do this,
Have faith in yourself,
And all the rest will fall into place,
As the universe is yours for the taking,
Make your reality the greatest,
You are a king or queen,
Don't drown your life in sorrow,
Today may not be your day,
But live it to its fullest,
As tomorrow is not promised,
Make the best of today,
It will only get better from here,
Have faith in yourself,
And all things are possible.
