Brighter Side
The dark reveals no light, like pitch black standing alone with your fears.
The dark gives no warmth, like cold internal shudders holding back tears.
The dark has always been the dark, inversely with light it will always be tied
But light, light will always be light, or what I like to call the brighter side
This light and dark, it may be as simple as day and night
This light and dark, it may be as easy as flipping a switch to a room
This light and dark, it may be as plain as getting your coffee just right
But this dark and light, it may be the key to you choosing your doom
The light provides vision of things to see and things yet to be
The light chases away darkness and quells fears which don’t want you free
The light brings life to parts of you that you thought have once died
The light can do many things once you begin to see the brighter side
The dark can be endless, you can stay in it, even live there if you choose
But the light, the light gives warmth, it can even spread positivity if you decide
This light can chase away the darkness, if you stay in the light you cannot lose
Please, I beg of you, please always choose to look for the brighter side
Sometimes you have to go through darkness to reach the light
Sometimes you have to do wrong to learn what’s right
Sometimes the dark’s so dark you feel it’s taken your voice
But please, please realize that the brighter side is a choice
