Out of the Rain

Life can be hard that's for sure.
With the many hardships that we all have to endure.
But within these struggles lay the most wonderful things.
Like the wisdom and strength that each one of them brings.
We grow from the hard times not the easily obtained.
If there were not any challenges then what would be gained? 
So when you're going through it and times really seem rough.
Keep In mind these help you by keeping you tough.
We often will abuse drugs to make it all go away.
But sadly it's still there and even worse the next day.
The only real option is to stop.. and work through the pain.
Only then will the clouds part  to show your way out of the rain.
