Silver Linings Magazine

The Silver Lining is an art and literature magazine by the Silver Hill Community.

All of the work included in The Silver Lining is created by our patients, alumni, volunteers and/or staff. First published in July 2005 by a Transitional Living Program group, the name was chosen from a contest entry submitted by a patient in that group, Michael.

Excerpt:

No Sea Scepters/
(No Suscepters)
Pain…. The insatiable monster within,
Slowly consuming, lurking under the skin.
There are no answers. There are no cures.
You don’t believe mine and I don’t understand yours.
It’s always hiding, always waiting,
Rears its head after abating.
Will it ever end? Can this entity die?
It saps me of all that I have left inside.
Braver and stronger people than I
Assure me that one day I’ll kiss it goodbye.
I can’t help wondering if this is a lie,
But at least someone gets it enough to try.
