Live with positivity

Stay clear of traps, your mind will play,

They will hold you up, and cause delays,

We can be our own, worst enemy,

But also the only, true remedy,

The thoughts we have, within our mind,

Come in various, shapes you’ll find,

It’s here that we, have to really concentrate,

And take control, of our mental state,

For it is our own, thoughts that decide,

Whether in this world, we cower or thrive,

The constant battle, of staying positive,

Is the only way, we should try to live,

I know those dark, thoughts cloud our mind,

You know the negative, horrible kind!

These will drag you, through hell and back,

Take away your energy, take you off track,

Can ruin relationships, tear you apart,

So make sure you stop them, right at the start,

When you feel, dark thoughts approaching,

Push them away, control your emotion,

Find a place, that will lift you higher,

A positive thought, where you aspire,

For our minds can manifest, so powerfully,

It’s up to us, to live with positivity.
