Notes About The Poem
Help when the chips are down

Positive Mental Attitude

Go for a walk to clear your head
Life's to short to stay in bed
When your feeling really low
Get outside feel the wind blow

No matter what walk of life
People suffer with troubles and strife
It may be no job or money for rent
It may be you feel your life is spent

But hear this you can get through
Many others feel just like you
It's all about occupying the mind
Staying strong the answers you'll find

But most of all don't keep it within
As this is truly a mortal sin
It will eat you up take away your strength
So find someone and talk at length

Positive mental attitude needed
Your a human not inbreeded 
Focus on the small things first
Otherwise your mind will burst

Each day your strength will overcome
And you won't feel totally outdone
Finally believe you are really strong
Life challenges can do you no wrong
