Growth and Silver Linings
Fortune's Favors
When there's rain, is there always growth?
Do clouds always get a silver lining?
Does fortune favor those with the most?
When there's growth, can it sustain, or is it mowed?
Will some of us always be left pining?
When there's rain, is there always growth?
Where does the energy go after the toast?
It feels like I'm stuck here signing.
Does fortune favor those with the most?
I've been making progress, not to boast.
Though there are imperfections that need refining.
When there's rain, is there always growth?
It helps when my anxiety leaves its post.
In those moments, for courage, I don't need to go mining.
Does fortune favor those with the most?
Through life I want to fly, to soar, not just coast.
This is part of how success I'm defining.
When there's rain, is there always growth?
Does fortune favor those with the most?

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.
