Those Days

Some days aren’t so great. 
They drag on like the heavy chains of sinners, and every dark emotion fills my being. 
On those days, I question everything. 
People whose friendship has proven true to me.
My family. 
My peers. 
Myself.

But then, on those days, 
If I’m lucky, 
I see a glimmer of hope.
Like the tiny sparks preceding a roaring blaze.
Taking form in a conversation. 
An exchange. 
A smile.

Those days, I am reminded of my experiences.
The horrors behind me. 
The journey of healing ahead. 
And most of all, the promise of a new beginning.
It’s out there, and maybe one day I’ll find it.
Those days project a multitude of colors encompassing the beautiful spectrum life has to offer.

Today was one of those days.
