Today was not a great day
But tomorrow will be better
Sometimes I try to feel something positive
And I fail miserably
I know that each failure actually pushes me closer to my goal
It is scary to try and be happy, if you anticipate a heavy pang of pain to follow your smile or laughter
But if I get more discouraged
My days can’t get better
So I will keep laughing and smiling
Until there’s no pain behind it

The words are pretty basic but they have a lot of meaning to me. Depression can **** you into a dark, black hole. Having the strength to get out of that hole even when it doesn't seem like a reality is something I like to praise people for.
