Whatever life may be

Life can be a pain or exctasy

Whatever it maybe

It is defined by you or me,

Life can be made up

Of different kinds of tears,

Tears of pain or laughter

From sadness or good cheer,

The choice is always ours

It’s how we react to life,

And the events that happen

Defining darkness or light,

No one else can hurt us

If we never let them,

No one can give us pleasure

If we never let them in,

We can only get upset

When we allow it,

We can only be euphoric

When we really want to,

There’s no doubt about this

So stop blaming others,

When it’s all upon ourselves,

Let’s make better choices

To improve our mental health,

External factors we are ones we let in

Yet we never seem to trust our own intuition,

Look for answers deep within

The depths of you,

Abandon the external lies

Find the inner truth,

Don’t do things for others

Just be they tell you too,

Do things that you know

That will be right and good for you,

Center yourself in being caring

And also on being kind,

Don’t let the toxic elements

Of this life, infiltrate your mind,

Be always open in mind and eyes

Don’t go walking through life

Blinkered or worse being blind.
