Dopamine
Don’t cry, just flash a smile
It’ll only be a while
Until you find peace
Don’t fret, not worth your time
Just clear your mind
With that dopamine
All things come to an end,
And begin again;
Patience is the key
Why try, to escape life?
Take her advice:
Try to be happy
Move on, don’t ruminate
No need to hate
Soon you will see
What God, if He exists
Will do with this
Constant suffering
All things have a meaning
It’s just the beginning
Of your great story
Just smile, embrace the pain
Cleanse with the rain
That falls at your feet
Look up, at the bright sky
And realize
You have what you need
To be something divine
Give it sometime
Someday you’ll achieve
What you hope and dream:
To be somebody
It’s all meant to be
Remember, you’re not nothing
And one last thing
Listen to your dreams

This is a motivational poem to myself, as I often contemplate what makes life worth it.
It’s a reminder to just smile, and be happy. To try to ignore, or cope healthily with the negative things in life, instead of self-destructive temporary reliefs such as drug-use.
In essence, it is encouraging myself to “get hooked” on the wonderful experiences and beautiful things life has to offer, instead of getting caught in a loop of rumination, and ill-feelings.
