Exploring Themes of Pain and Resilience

The funny thing about rock bottom,

it's quiet down there.

You always play the blues?

No. Sometimes the blues play me.

What do you play when you're happy?

Nothing. Happiness is what remains after the blues have

left.

Then what do you do when you're broken?

Sing until I'm not.

I thought the pain had come to break me.

I thought the night would never end.

But every wound became a doorway,

leading me back home again.

And in the silence I remembered,

what the darkness couldn't take.

There's a light beneath the ashes.

There's a soul that cannot break.

Pain is only the door,

not the end but something more.

When the night is at its darkest,

that's when little lights are born.

Let the old world fall behind me.

Let the tears become the rain.

What I thought was my destruction,

was the breaking of my chains.

When the night has reached its darkest point,

the light inside you can only begin to grow.

Through pain, that inner spark becomes a light that

nothing can extinguish.
