Ups and Downs

Everyone goes through life’s ups and downs. When you’re at your lowest it’s ok to be upset, But please try not to dwell too heavily on the things that are bringing you down. Instead know that it will get better. You just have to have faith that something or someone will come along And cause your spirits to rise Until once again your are floating with the clouds. Know you’ll be stronger because of what you have experienced, And more able to take on any other hardship that comes your way. When you’re at your lowest realize it does get better. And know that life does go on, so you must be prepared to go with it Because if you don’t life will pass you by, And when it’s too late you’ll realize you’ve led a life filled with sadness, And there were wasted days you spent in tears, with not one second of laughter. Don’t live with the regret that you made your days into nothing more but sorrow. Fill them with as much joy as you possibly can, And know that everyone goes through life’s ups and downs, But it’s getting over the down times and getting stronger within that fills life with happiness.I know I still have a lot of work to do on this poem, but i posted it here to get any help i possibly could.
