Cheer Up Poem by Victoria Hughes

Why is everybody so depressed all the time?
Down-trodden souls, no longer difining
What it is that makes life beautiful.

Yes, there is sadness and misery in abundance
Around the world, but does that mean
That the good times are no longer valid or current?

Time to get out of your dispondent melancholy,
Get up and go out and see the beauty with your
Own eyes, see what is on offer,
or seek comfort with the holy.


Don't just sit and indulge in your own selfish grief,
There are others that need you, that you need to live for
So get up, be strong and get on with it,
It's easier than you think.
