Silver Linings

1.

Let your pain 

come to the surface.

Allow it to breathe the air

and see that it has no place

within. 

- grieve; 

2.

This heaviness in my heart 

was that of healing; it’s the

weight of a burden lifted. 

- misinterpreted; 

3.

Let go of those memories 

by framing them, and hanging

them off the walls

you’re about to break down 

- renaissance; 

4.

My screams 

were loud, and sounded like grief

mixed with the relief of a breakthrough 

- heart song; 

5.

My hardships, and relationships 

have shown me just how resilient I could

be So no I will not kneel and neither will

my broken pieces

- renaissance II; 

6.

There is so much comfort 

in silence that you would

only feel once your ego is

quiet 

- ego; 

7.

You will gently fold, and unfold 

and notice where the wounds

have healed and where the

scars have disappeared 

- time, and time again
