don’t dwell on the negative

easy for you to say

 

when the ones you love always love you back

you have all the freedom I yearn for

you’re talents are limitless

happiness revolves very close to you

you sleep so soundly

the center of everyone’s world

always cared for and supported

 

stop being so negative all the time 

easy for you to say

 

how would you handle a couple days in my boat

you don’t get to choose which way you sail

happiness isn’t so easy to get

it takes me hours to fight demons to get insufficient sleep

the ones you want don’t want you

for reasons you can’t control

isolated and foreign to love

family will push and shove

life works against you

 

the sun never sets in your world 

it’s easy for you to say

when the sun never rises in mine
