Silver Lining


Here I am pacing back and forth,
Behind cold walls and closed doors,
With all my doubts pulling me down,
Forcing me to give up and leave the town

But the ray of light through the window,
Gives me strength, gives me hope
Yes, there are rocks I have stumbled upon,
But who said this road was simple to walk on.

Life’s like a crossword with no right answer,
Twisted as a riddle, a complex puzzle,
With numerous secrets cautiously weaved in,
All it needs is some time for unraveling

In the pains and troubles over the years,
I may have fallen and even shed tears,
All the trials and nightmares I fought,
“Outrun you fears”, is what they taught

I may bleed but I’ll never be defeated
And, When the city is busy dreaming,
I am wide awake hoping to see,
The cloud with the sweet silver lining.
