Positivity 

is not overrated

and Society

is not to be blamed

There is a time 

when you have to claim responsibility

for your own thoughts

they are toxic

or they are not

They say life is not what tragedy befalls you

but how you rise above it; how you react

and they are right

you can view it blue

or silver; the true

smile

smile

and smile

for one day soon,

sadness will be out of style

and we will all see how life is indeed worthwhile. 

Maybe you think I am being cliché

Even if I am, 

I am happy to be that way.
