Just Try and Be Positive They Say

Just try and be positive they say.

So here it goes and i try so hard to see the light,  
To be positive in what they call a so called life

For fear of death should be a thing to all.
For me its not, im ready to fall.

A change in season, a change in time.
A thoughful gift, a meaningful ryhme.

To be positive is not as easy as one can pursue.
For to some a lot more happens to me than to you.

I wish life would be easy, but it isnt that way.
True strength is deminshing, negativity on its way.

You tell me to be positive, you think its easy to switch
To change my mind and attitude at a moments notice.

You obviously dont have clue, whats really going on here 
If you did your actions would reflect and you wouldnt say words so hurtful and unclear.

To everyone who struggles and those struggles are real
They will truly understand my frustration
Truly understand what i feel.

I write my emotions, like i wear my heart on my sleeve for everyone to see.
So you can see real honesty in a person and still believe in humanity.

Dont forget that there are people out there who are losing there will to live.
Next time try talking to them and asking them how to help instead of saying be positive.
