Silver Lining

Somewhere sitting on a small bed

Thumbs aching from video games

A child’s mind sits with its boredom

As virus shuts off the world outside

Racing through the younger head

How the world may never be the same

Not in control and their lives become

Unspoken fears kept deep inside

But one will, by destiny, be led

To the notebook that bears their name

A need to write the thoughts that come

Words born of the tears not cried

Their ink will keep the paper fed

As writing becomes a favorite game

They will find a new sense of freedom

As their words are practiced and plied

The silver lining then what is read

In the words of a heart untamed

Then the world can benefit from

The great writer that’s found inside
