A short poem about composure.

What life is depressed
What life isn’t
The only thing that separates good life and bad
Is how we handle sadness and depression
So let’s curb depression
And churn out happiness
And stamp out evil
Be good to the elders
Be nice to people in general
Love life
And simply live to the fullest
Life is short
Make it filled with positivity and laughter
No matter how others try to put you down
Just relax, smile and remain composed
Just say to yourself, ‘I’m cool like that’…

    HaHa Quite the words to the wise. Unfortunately, writing and being depressed seem to be linked. Very nice poem though it makes you want to just be happy.
