Never Going To Drag Me Down

I so don’t have time for nonsense You’ve gotta want to help yourself Do you really want to sit and stagnate In your pool of negativity and pessimism There are kind people passing you on either side While you are busy harping on the gloom and doom You’re not noticing or hearing any of them Do you really want to close your eyes And not see any positive around you There’s beauty all around you You’re creating your world through your perception Your reality is so off balance Won’t you step back Take a deep breath And open up Look for what’s beautiful What’s bright and happy What’s warm and kind Realize that there’s something else out there You’ve got to want to help yourself AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on October 11, 2017 for contest NEVER GOING TO DRAG ME DOWN sponsored by JULIE LEIGH RODEHEAVER - RANKED 3RD
