The Bright Side
Looking on the bright side
Only works when one’s inclined
To ignore emotions that may
Take up space inside one’s mind.
To focus on the positives
Sounds easy, but it’s not,
When the negatives have crowded into
Every open spot.
Advice with good intentions
Doesn’t mitigate the cause
Of what someone may be feeling,
But should give advisors pause.
