Every Storm Runs Out of Rain
I saw you
standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying

Every storm
runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain
So hold your
head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

You
ever feel like you are standing in the middle of a storm and there is no light
ahead? Yeah, I feel like that a lot. Sometimes I feel the darkness surrounding
me. Those are the days I call “my alone
days”. I feel like I just need to sit
quietly and contemplate. I can’t “people”
on those days. Sometimes I don’t get out
of bed. When I get to that point, I try
to concentrate on all the positives in my life.
I have an awesome family who is always there for me. I have a nice home and food on the
table. And I have my photography.
I
pick myself up and take myself in to my “picture room” as my grandson calls
it. In there I’m in a different
world. There are no politicians, there
are no mean girls, there is no murder….its just me and my camera and whatever I
choose to photograph. Sometimes in my
darkest moods I create my best images. I’m
really liking the ones I came up with today.
I know dark and moody is not everyone’s cup of tea but it works for me.
What do you do on your dark days? Do you have a routine that keeps you grounded? I'd love to hear about it. Please leave a comment with your story.

I blare sad music, happy music, angry music. The moment tells me what i want to listen to. I work out like a maniac, stopping intermittently to punch a pillow or something that wont break my hand (been there, done that, not worth it). Thinking doesn’t set me straight it makes things worse. There is something about negative thoughts consuming you that the only way to get away is to keep busy n not think about anything. Clearing my mind of everything n escaping to my own world.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you are. My own world is a happy place where there is no pain or guilt or sadness. It's just that sometimes i think i spend too much time there.
DeleteI walk on sunshine. Shadows listen.
ReplyDeleteSometimes shadows are good. Sometimes the only place to be is my own world.
