Finding Happiness in Misery


That light at the end of the tunnel - It is slowing losing its shine. The walls are starting to cave in – you just might have to rewind. Turning around might mean chaos – losing your way all again. Sorrow closes around you – bringing old demons you might once have called friends. You can meet them with pleasure and favor – you can endure them just as before. But remember that light at the end – it is dim but it’s still there to explore. Find your way through the darkness – even the blind man can feel the heat. These times are not here for forever – they can turn into a memory. This current pain and sadness – reminds you of happier times. Strength from within you must discover – to reach the goal in sight. Once you obtain what you’re looking for – those miserable times will seem so far away. Faded, but never forgotten – so you know when true happiness stays.
