Refuse to feel sorry,
to drown yourself in your own self-loathing
to focus on the hatred
of all that went wrong in your life,
refuse to be mired,
to get caught in the downward spiral
that is misery and complaint;
for life has so much to offer,
silver linings in every dark corner
for the creative mind to seek out,
to pull from the deepest places
where the light barely goes;
silver only needs a tiny sliver of light
to reflect its true nature,
the bearer of positive intent
making all things shiny-new,
offering the slightest glimmer of hope
