Smile On My Heart

In my eyes a canopy of sunshine,
melancholy days can make it glisten;
Above the darkness crazy as it sounds,
the choice to be buoyant is always mine;
Even when I feel I need permission,
do not imprison yourself with no grounds;
Let every ounce of that self doubt dissolve 
put negative thoughts into submission;
A serotonin type high knows no bounds,
with a smile on my heart I rise above
                     the clouds.
