Invincible Summer - Albert Camus

In the midst of hate, I found there was,
within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was,
within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was,
within me, an invincible calm.

I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was,
within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.

For it says that no matter how hard the world
pushes against me, within me,
there’s something stronger,
something better, pushing back.

~ Albert Camus
