Hi Contest- Hello To Positivity

Yesterday I told sadness to leave.
Today I told all things positive hi.
Happiness is what I want to achieve.

Yesterday I had much to grieve.
Today I told negativity goodbye,
Yesterday I told sadness to leave.

Yesterday I was lonely and naive.
Today I had to give boldness a try,
Happiness is what I want to achieve.

Yesterday was meant to misconceive,
Today I am at peace and I don't ask why.
Yesterday I told sadness to leave.

Yesterday all I could do was disbelieve,
Today I will get new wings so I can fly.
Happiness is what I want to achieve.

Today hope is something I perceive.
Because I took a chance and said hi,
Yesterday I told sadness to leave.
Happiness is what I want to achieve.

This poem rhymes and flows so well Alexis, however, it is not the correct form for a Villanelle.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
