Day 5: See the Light

Darkness swirls, hanging heavy in the air
your mind soaks it up when the light isn't there.
Bad news and nightmares leaping out of your speaker,
and just when you think things couldn't be bleaker,
it happens again as confusion fills your brain.
if only there was a way to find purpose in the pain.

But the world is full of light that most simply don't see,
there's sunshine through your window, there's blossoms on your tree,
there's the love of your mother when she does the little things,
and the freedom of a songbird as she glides on feathered wings.

There are two sides to every story, and which will you choose to see?
There's joy left to be had, and a new person to be,
simply open up your eyes, and you will find,
the secret to true happiness is found within your mind.
