Cheer Up

cheer up

don't be depressed

smile awhile

it can go a mile

try to let silly stupid stuff amuse you

i am easily amused

i laugh a lot even if i am sad

i laugh at the irony of how silly it is

is the cup half full or half empty

think positive

it is half full, of course it is

you would rather laugh than cry

who wouldn't want to try

you can communicate in many different ways

please try to keep in touch here always



I know I am stuck

on that rhymy poetry stuff

but that is just me and my style

it can go an inch or it can go a mile

depending on what you see in it

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I hope you get it

cuz I am bolder

I stick with my style

and hope it makes the mile

if not at least I shared

I dared

I cared

I just look for emotional comments

if you pick up on those moments

not concerned with presentation

that I can say with no hesitation

I am a t-shirt and jeans

know what that means

basically me

feel free

to enjoy me

and let me know how it feels

to learn about what life deals

me in your eyes

no disguise

I really liked the cheer up poem...it is so true..i sometimes struggle with being positive but it is true it is a waste of time to be pesimistic and to look at the dark side of things. Its was very inspiring

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Neither, it's completely full. What doesn't contain water, contains air.

Think outside the box, or glass if need be ;)

Nice stuff Pam,
oh, just so you know astabatpoetry.com wouldn't go anywhere ;)
