Brighter Days Ahead

Sometimes successes come easy
Wins effortlessly landing in our lap
Other times it’s an endless struggle 
Feeling stuck in a never ending trap 

Comfortable to keep on keeping on
Wishing circumstances improve
Too scary to think about changing 
So just stick in the same ol' groove 

But courage beginning to bubble up
Readying to break free from our rut 
Know once we finally figure things out
No one can stop us when we strut

We willingly walk through the darkness 
In order to blissfully bask in the glory 
Confidently coming out the other side 
Ready to write the next chapter in our story
