Just wait for the sun

WHEN everything is darkness

And you feel lonely,

When the rain does not stop,

And you cannot make it home, When it feels all is lost,

And you just want to run, Remember, it cannot rain forever. Just wait for the sun.

When family is pain,

When friends cannot be found, When you just want to scream,

But you cannot find the sound, When it is all your fault,

And you feel like you are done,

Just wait for the sun.

The sunshine will come.

The storm always passes.

It will not last forever.

The rain always stops and gives way to good weather.

The brightest and warmest of days are still to come.

Please, wait for the sun.

The sunshine will come.

People who need you,

People who still love you,

Can warm up your soul like the sunshine above you.

You are never alone,

No matter what is done.

Wait for the sun.

Just wait for the sun.

Dark clouds always pass.

I promise you, honey.

We are all waiting with you.

Just wait for the sun.

Finding hope

I have always viewed life from the sidelines, Just watching it passing me by.

In the past, I was too afraid to just let go and live,

And lately, too tired to try.

I have envied the people around me So invested in living each day, While I spend my time hiding out from the world

And searching for ways to escape. For most of my life, I truly believed I was here to help somebody else, But now, it is clear it was just an excuse To avoid living life for myself.

It is sad that our lives and the pain we endure

Can weaken our strength to move on, But if we get lost in the scars of our past, Without knowing, our lives will be gone. It is true, people are disappointing, They can turn in the blink of an eye, But we cannot avoid hurting each other, When we all want a chance at this life. But there is something I have learned through the wisdom of age,

A truth about all of our lives

— No matter what path we each take, In the end, we just want to survive. So, the time has now come to conquer my fears

And to stand up and face a new day. Let the hurts of my past wash away with my tears

And stop letting my life slip away.
