Open Edition: Stay Strong

I have realized that sometimes the rain is the sky’s way of weeping for our wounded hearts,
that sometimes storms do not come to break us but to make us stronger.
I have accepted that sorrows are part of the journey,
but I must not let them drown me.

Even if the clouds pour their rain only upon me,
even if the world tries to engulf me in darkness,
I will grip my small umbrella even tighter,
and with a quiet smile, I will walk forward through the rain.

With all my heart, I have understood how to remain pure amidst all the darkness.
