To Get Past the Day
When you feel like the day has turned a blind eye upon you
Seek not the shelter of your inner being, but step out
Let not it beat you into submission, but rather smile
Welcome the day and say to it, “I will not be your victim
But rather, I will be victorious today, as the smile on my face
Is the prize that you will never take from me.”
Look then at the faces of everyone else and know that
Happiness is strength and strength was always there
Just needing to be recognized.
