Silver Lining

If you ever feel unhappy Feeling down amongst your plight Just remember that is normal It's your God damn given right But it's not your right to wallow Like a piglet in the mud You gotta pull yourself right up Like all good people does You've just got to look around you Not think of what you've lost More to the point stay positive And realise that you're the boss You make your own decisions So call it as you will Do you want your cup half empty? As half full is better still So when those storm clouds gather Remember they will pass And as the sun comes shining though That silver linings there at last

Awesome! I know what it is like to be at the bottom of the barrel and have to claw my way back up, to survive the stuff that happened in my life. Depression after the fact is the worst part and I refuse to let it consume me so I fake it till I make it and write it out of my head. This poem is so uplifting, thank you Paul.

Thanks Wendy, I hope this poem helps to take negative thoughts and turn them into positives. I wrote it for someone when they were feeling sorry for themselves and I recall it for myself when I'm feeling down and it usually gives me a lift.
