Key to a Happy Life

Life has its ups and downs,

We all have our smiles 

and our frowns.

Be on the top,

just to hit breakdowns.

We might want to quit,

but we must refuse.

We must decide 

and we must choose.

Who do we want to be?

No time for any excuse.

We just power through, 

and push back hard,

no matter how often, 

we get caught off guard,

we must push on,

our emotions unbarred.

Because the moment 

we start to hide, 

is the moment we

get sucked up inside, 

The moment we get lost in ourselves,

our sadness amplified.

To defeat this disease,

we must laugh with ease, 

we must find joy in the little things.

Because when this joy is found, 

our lives will become 

complete and profound,

and great happiness

will abound.
