STRONGER AND BRIGHTER

There's a certain beauty in the incomprehensible 
There's a certain glamour in pain.
The way you heal, the way you resolve. 
It's called being alive. 
Hearts will break and tears can't be kept in forever. 
The emptiness will swallow you. 
Pain will be whipped on your mind again and again; 
And here's a fact, it'll hurt more than marks on your flesh. 

But you can survive. 
Still you're speaking, your heart is beating. 
You can still fight.
And sometimes, that's enough. 
Maybe you aren't okay. 
Maybe you haven't been in a long time. 
With time you'll cure. 
Memories will fade into dull, forgotten storage 
Kept up somewhere in dusty attics. 
Wounds will remain as scars and nightmares. 
But as the tide takes you again and storms come back greyer 
You can stand upright,
Stronger and brighter.
