Perception Is Everything
They say that life is unpleasant,
It's filled with more downs than ups,
But if you see the good in downs,
It'll be easier to stand back up.
They say that life is unfair,
Not all accomplish their dreams,
But if you can learn to except defeat,
It'll open doors to a whole swarm of things.
For if you stand on the sidelines,
Waiting for your day to come,
It's possible that you'll get lucky,
And then the ups will have a greater sum.
If you can see defeat,
As just another lesson in life,
The success that it can bring you,
Can turn the darkness into light.
Life is not overrated,
It's filled with all our hopes and dreams,
With just a little patience and dedication
Life can be whatever you want it to be.
