Silver lining

Life always seems so bright to me,

Optimism tends to keeps me afloat.

But lately it vividly feels like,

Something grasps and tightens my throat.

 

So optimism seems to slowly fade,

Leaving me temporarily deprived of that guiding light.

But somehow I know it will come back again,

Somehow I know things will be alright.

 

Though, I find myself in doubt,

Which I never did before.

I always kept my belief,

And with it I’d always reach the shore.

 

So I know that I need to hang on,

And somehow that belief will guide my way.

I know I have the strength,

To get to where my dreams lay.

 

Although, the belief that everything will be alright,

Can sometimes be hard to trust.

But I have to believe,

I have to believe so it doesn’t turn into dust.

 

So I will utter the magic words,

Like I always have before.

That is how I always got to where I wanted,

That is the strength that lies within my core.

 

I have the faith and I have the belief,

I have the smiling thought it’s sometimes harder than I admit.

I have the strength and I have the courage,

And I have the trust – the trust that I will find the darkness lit.
