TIME SHALL PASS
Thomas stares out his window, sitting at the kitchen table, bills piled up beside his resumes. Five months without work aside from low paying odd jobs from working on yards to food delivery. Frustration lines his forehead. Determined to stay constant, some days are better than others however, it is mentally wearing. Thomas sighs trying to believe that this unpredictable time shall pass. The evening comes with a glass of wine for Margaret, alone in her living room, attempting to adjust to a new life after twenty-seven years of the same one. Without a true explanation her partner left leaving so many questions behind. Where to start over? What does the future hold? Starting over brings fear. With each sip, thoughts get stronger holding onto the fact that this time shall pass. Stacy closes the door of her room trying to digest another horrid school day. Others hurling insults for no reason, students that used to be friends causing tears and confusing thoughts. Sometimes Stacy wonders if the abuse is worth going through, determined she will get past the next two years. Stacy knows a new chapter will be soon. This present time shall pass.
