My Poetry. Positive thoughts.

When your mood is bright and truly good,
the whole wide world feels vibrantly alive;
but when darker times descend upon your soul,
you struggle just to survive.

So much depends upon the hours of night,
whether you've had a deep and proper rest,
allowing your complex brain to recharge,
and be completely at its best.

You have the power to make your day harmonious,
if your mind is clear, bright, and truly ready—
not burdened by the pull of negativity,
but instead, peaceful, focused, and steady.

For negativity, as always, breeds contempt,
as your spirit ebbs, flows, and inevitably slows,
dragging you down into a defeated state,
where sharp bitterness silently grows.

Choose instead to go with the flow,
be resilient, be powerful, and thrive!
Keep your attention fixed firmly on the good things,
be thankful every morning that you are alive.

In the end, you are a winner—
not just of the battle, but of the long, hard war.
If you truly want to live on and triumph,
you must give it everything you have and more!
