Silver Linings
I have walked through fire
Lived in darkness
Felt a lifetime of pain
Yet I still breathe
Hope, it carries me
Love, it releases me
Time, it heals me
Life, it gives new breath in me
I've taken the breath of colds brisk air
Felt the heat of hells death stare
Yet still I breathe
To the tune of my souls immortality
You can't beat me
You can't hurt me
You can't disarm the desires that move me
You can't destroy me
You can't consume me
Nor persecute away the fires of love that motivate me
I am me
Yet still
In all the darkness of the vast array of valleys I've seen
In light
In love
My soul will always breathe
Even better than that though
Is the beauty I choose to see
Truly the silver lining
Of the world in pain
Standing right before me
