I know that you could be happy
if you wanted to
you blame others for your misery
But ultimately
you're the one who's got to choose
when you wake up
and reach for grief ,you lose
you decide to have an awful day
even when
there's no need for the blues
to have a good time
is not a hard thing to do
so get out of your own way
you could smile once in awhile
it's not so impossible
you'll find that negativity
affects your physical health
when you see things pessimistically you put stress
and pressure on yourself
sickness and eventually death
comes faster than the rest
of your family and friends
that is unless
you turn your life around
and get happy
that's what's best
be nice to others
and they won't treat you like shit
don't be so judgmental
you're only inviting
your own critical thoughts in
so which side of the bed
would you rather wake up on ?
you could rise up on a positive note instead of taking the painful route
of finding the shameful path
where to tread
don't act like the world is against you when the opposition
comes from within your own head
stop pretending
that we don't love you
you're the one
who won't make amends
quit struggling against it
man up and take your meds
you could use a vitamin supplement and get some sun on your skin
let's put an end
to your self punishment
and let yourself feel love again
embrace your heart
it's not Gone With the Wind
just needs to be defrosted
and kept warm and protected from sin
Ohhhhh
know that you could be happy
