Forward

Chin up buttercup
count your blessings
not your trials...

This will pass
like everything else
it just might take a while...

The glass can be
half empty
but that means it's half full...

So use what's left
with all your strength
and follow the golden rule...

Live each day
try your best 
leave negativity behind...

Do what you can
with what you have
and you will be just fine.

All I can do
is try to heal -
and pamper myself
as I try to feel...

Normal again
like it was before -
if it will happen
I'm not even sure...

I wake to the day
and shed a tear -
the throbbing pain
still lingers here...

Dreams that I want
to awaken from -
problems I pray
are finally done...

Yet I still rise
and face the new day -
when really I'd rather
just hide away.
