Golden Key


The stress of the day Let it go Those things you want to say Say no The anger and aggression Will slow The smile and happiness Let them grow Nothing is better Than a perfect day But when it’s not that day Don’t just throw it away Stand up and say “Hey! I’m going to find a way To make color from this gray, To step out of this haze, To make it all okay.” You’ve got to fight (Not physically, but mentally) Take insight Make the day bright Look on the side with light Say today “I’ll take flight! I’ll be like a kite, I’ll battle the stress with all my might,” And tell yourself and the world “Everything will be alright!” We often close our eyes to see The person we want to be The future of our dreams The epitome of our glee And we wake up, it’s gone We’re no longer free Feeling limited to “Just me” But you have to stand up and say “I am ME! I am free! And I can be What I want to be! And I want to be happy!” That is the golden key To be happy To experience the splendid way To live and love To wake with a smile every day And eventually, peacefully rest the same exact way.
