Don'T Be Down Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Don'T Be Down



Don't be down.
Keep both feet on the ground.
And take that frown off your face.
Remove that frown to be found.
Don't be down.
Just keep both feet on the ground.
Although you have been hurt,
Know some folks will throw their dirt.

Don't be down.
Refuse to give in to those wicked.
Don't be down.
No benefits from this you get.
Don't be down.
Hold your head up and believe...
The best of life is coming.
And the best you will receive.

Don't be down.
Pick a wish and see it happen.
Don't be down.
Make your dreams reality.
Don't be down.
Recognize those people evil,
But don't nibble what they feed.

Don't,
Be down.
Get up and see your faith work.
Don't be down.
Get up and use your faith.
Don't,
Be down.
Get up and see your faith work.
Don't be down.
Get up and use your faith.
Don't...
Ever want to be one down.
Get up and see your faith work.
Don't be down.
Get up and use your faith.
Don't,
Be the one the people see down.

A great reaffirmation for life, despair is the one thing that can destroy a human being, especially when negative comments without constructive feedback erode a little of your self esteem (that's why its good to stay away from You Tube comments) . But the last stanza interesting, it almost sounds more like your trying to tell yourself not to be down, as if your looking into a mirror and trying to find the strength to keep going. But that just me
