what you make it

It is true that life is what you make it
Some take that truth better than others do
You can curl up in a ball and hate it
Or try to find something that pleases you

Some people have it all, and still complain
About how what they have just ain’t enough
Other people dance and sing in the rain
And try not to worry about that stuff

One side dancing, and singing, and laughing
The other side miserable and depressed
Some believe the cup is overflowing
Others feel it is just there to make a mess

However you choose to feel in this life
Remember it’s up to you to decide
