An Up for Each Down

Sometimes I only feel sad
  Sometimes I can just cry
  Sometimes I lose all hope
  Sometimes I am all alone
  And sometimes I smile wide

  Life certainly has its downs
  Sometimes I drown above water 
  But there’s also a future
  There’s friends to be made
  There’s fun to be had

  Reframe the situation at hand
  Use it to your advantage
  Everything bad is a strength
  You have everything but hopelessness
  You need to use it
