IT'S A PHASE

  IT'S A PHASE.. by Magna Ileladewa Precious.

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed

When you are discouraged thinking all is lost

When all the bad things seem to be happening to you at the same time

You experience a sense of disorientation, solitude, restlessness and bewilderment

Then your thoughts stray in search for explanations to the questions ‘why’, ‘why me’ and ‘why now’

While hoping to get answers to these questions,

You come to the realization that you are facing opposition from every corner of the globe

Then, an unfathomable and indescribable groan in your soul barges in unannounced

A groan that surpasses the communicative capacity of tears

An inexpressible groan, difficult to share

Being consumed by the difficulties takes over your mental state

The fear of losing oneself grips

And you desire a momentary disconnection from the world and its events

You crave a moment of solitude, away from the chaos of the world

An isolated haven, beyond the reach and discovery of others, is your desired destination

In the chaos, something drops into your subconscious mind

“Is that truly the solution?” you ponder..

And in the actual sense, ‘why not’, ‘why not you’, ‘why not now’

It's not the first challenge life will throw at you

And life won't always be a sugary treat

The bitter part is what adds intrigue to life's flavor

With so much left to achieve, giving up would be a grave mistake

So, gather your strength and press on 

It's a phase; it shall pass!
