Just Know Tough Times Do Pass

For Mental Health Awareness Month ❤️ For anybody who is not feeling 100% today or any day.

Just Know Tough Times Do Pass

If life’s journey feels too tough today
And the skies above feel always grey
If you feel like there is no way out
And you’re doubting what life’s all about
Just know tough times do pass

If you feel alone, unloved and scared
For the future, you feel unprepared
If you’re tired of wearing a painted smile
Whilst fighting your demons for such a long while
Just know tough times do pass

If your waking hours fill you with dread
So, to shut the world out, you retreat to your bed
If you’ve lost the will and rarely eat
And you shy away from the people you meet
Just know tough times do pass

Nothing is permanent in life my dear friend
Even the worst of times will come to an end
Please don’t give up when the skies are grey
For a better tomorrow will come your way
Just know tough times do pass
