No Way But Up
I know that look on your face.
You have failed in every case.
All you’ve tried falls apart.
Even love led to a broken heart.
No happy sunsets for you.
Just one more night to go through.
I would say you’re down and out.
All you do is sit and pout.
No clouds with a silver lining.
Nothing nice to be reminding.
Life has been a one way street.
Nothing special or unique.
You have thought of ending it all.
That step might be your biggest fall.
No where now to go, but up.
It is hard. Like driving a truck.
Get down and knuckle under.
The sound of that is like thunder.
Roaring in your head so loud.
You can’t lose yourself in a crowd.
John Cena says never give up.
It takes a lot more than luck.
It takes hard work. Never give in.
In the end, you will win.
Put a smile on that face.
You can never be a disgrace.
You have brains, health, and good looks.
Just like written in a book.
Look ahead to the final chapter.
The ending is great. No crap here.
It is the book of your life.
You can write the ending without strife.
Go for the gold. Do your best.
Put those negative thoughts to rest.
Remember, no matter what you do.
The final results are up to you.
