People tell me I complain too much,
They tell me that I’m always sad
That I should stop being so depressed,
My life isn’t really that bad
They say I should be happy with what I have
And be grateful for all that I have been given
I have way too many blessings to count
Even though sometimes they might seem hidden
They tell me it can’t hurt to smile
That I’m to pessimistic towards everything
That laughter is the best medicine
And that being angry isn’t going to help anything
They say I shouldn’t let one thing that goes wrong
Ruin my opportunity
To live my life to its fullest
Not to waste it, but to live it usefully
They tell me that even though my life seems bad
There is always someone who has less
However bad, my own life feels
There’s always someone who has more stress.
They say that next time I want to cry
Or I just want to complain
I should turn my frown upside down
And just go dance in the rain!
