Finding My Silver Lining
Life has not always been kind to me.
In fact,
It frequently has been harsh.
There are days I walk around
Not knowing what to do
Where to go
What to say.
There are many days
Where I feel empty.
There are many days
Where I feel sad.
There are many days
Where the circumstances of my life
Almost succeed at pushing me down.
Almost.
I am finding my silver lining.
It is small.
Sometimes so small I forget it’s there.
But it is powerful and growing.
My silver lining is my friends who listen to me when I need to talk.
It is my mom who gives me hugs on days that are especially bad.
It is my dog who curls up next to me when I need comforting.
It is my favorite book that takes me to a different world when I just need to escape mine.
My silver lining is what makes my life so much better
And in the end,
It is what makes me so much stronger.
