Rainbow In The Dark
A poem about finding hope in these troubling times.
When it seems like you've reached your limit
Ready to simply collapse and never get back up again
When it feels like it would be easier to let the darkness win
Let it envelope you in its cold and numbing embrace
Remember that within the dark is always light
Color remains within even the deepest of fogs
Hope is always there, even when it's hard to see it
All you have to do is brave the storm
Weather the lightning
Stand tall against the thunder
And do what you can to protect your heart and soul
From the winds and rains that threaten to destroy them
To drag them kicking and screaming into the abyss
To become lost forever in the hopelessness
Happiness can always be found, even in the grimmest circumstances
In the smile of a newborn baby
In the familiar jokes of your old favorite TV show
In your father's endless stream of hilariously terrible jokes
In your favorite pair of socks that you always wear to bed
In treating yourself to your favorite junk food
In escaping into the realm of your favorite books
Even when the dark threatens to seep its way into your mind
Remember the happy times; the beautiful memories
The thoughts that always bring you warmth and comfort
For these are the memories that can prove just what you need
To withstand the barrage of wickedness the world throws your way
To keep the cynicism from taking claim over your mind and body
Right now, the world is a scary place to look at
With violence and hate seeming to infect every corner of the map
But even as fear threatens to mangle the hearts of many
Remember that once upon a time, we all came into this world anew
Pure and unblemished by the world's ugliness
Remember this when you feel despair reaching out to you
Remember the fond memories when light seems far beyond reach
Remember the little things that bring you happiness and love
And show the world that the storms won't bring you down
As long as you remember the rainbows awaiting you on the other side
