'Silver Linings' by Ravyn LaRue


I'm trying to teach myself to see silver linings
I know that's disney movie morality
And I'm an adult living in the real world
That sounds wrong to say, for the record
But I am an adult, though I don't seem it
And as an adult, as childlike as it may seem
To survive one must stay positive
Otherwise you're a bitter walking empty shell
And that's not living, not to me anyways
That's Columbia, and why I needed to leave
And that's why I'm back-
That's why I need to be happy
Because I'm in a place I can rightly call home
With souls I can rightly call my beloveds
If there's something better in this world-
I certainly haven't yet found it
So I believe in silver linings
Since if Columbia hadn't scared me back
I wouldn't be where I am now, which is a good place-
Unstable and unsure as it might be-
I am at least comfortable
And I am at least happy here
