# Are you sad or unhappy Depressed; Feeling lonely Each day dark and dreary or blue? Do not worry my friend I know just how you feel I have all the right answers for you So to counter the downward You start thinking upward Bad thoughts will stick to you like glue It takes more than just effort You must remain strong Fortitude; So this trip you'll see through Now I want you to think of a time you were happy When things in the world all seemed new Full of love and carefree Innocent; *Truly pure Crisp and clean*; Much alike morning dew When inside of your mind you project types of thoughts that are positive; Like "dreams come true" *It rewires your brain Generates* new connections Gets rid of the old residue But you must stay the course Don't give up in distress And in time it will start getting through It is hard I confess But would never attempt or could make a false promise to you So if happiness is what you want from your life Yet it always finds ways to elude The change comes from inside Must have faith; Must believe Make a batch of fresh "positive brew" As you drink this elixir In time you will see Billiard ***** have all left but the cue A blank slate to create What you want of the world Every color no longer just blue Disagree or debate If you finish the race Like a big gust of wind that just blew All the darkness now gone Feel like 'here I belong' Peace of mind; Life that's filled with love too #
