Positivity

Negativity is something
We all have once in awhile.
Some of us more often than others
And others are always faking a smile.

They feel like everyday is meaningless,
Like pain is the only thing that can exist.
And when they do feel happiness even for a moment,
It just disappears in the mist.

Sometimes they just hate themselves like I do,
And think that everything they do is a mistake.
But I’ve realized overtime
That this is not the case.

Because even if you don’t believe it,
You have to be aware,
And even when we do terrible things,
There is always someone that cares.

We all slip up sometimes,
We all make mistakes,
We all have days where everything that happens
Is a huge waste.

Feeling negativity your whole life
Is wasting just wasting it more.
So get off your bed feeling sorry for yourself
And explore.

For life has it’s wonders,
And it has it’s pains,
It has terrible people,
And it has it’s sparks that turn into flames.

And many famous people have said this over and over again,
And it is true.
It’s not about what has happened to you, it’s how you react,
And that is up to you.

So...be positive always.
Negative never.
Live your life to the fullest,
And you’ll love it forever.

Thanks! It's probably one of my better one to be honest, which is sad, but I've seen better first poems.
