Crybaby

Think positive!
He used to say.
I must think positive!
I started to pray.

And I prayed for it every whole night.
But nothing happened there at all.
I was praying until the start of fall.
Now, in winter I've still nothing to write.

I must feel positive!
I said to me: that's the clue.
Feel positive!
Wow, this invention isn't new.

And I tried and did and tried.
But nothing happened there at all.
I sang and tried, sometimes cried.
But nothing broke down my inner wall.

"Act positive, my old, still crying friend!
Straight up your body than your mind.
I've got more time here to spend with you.
But the job is only in your hands, though."

And I took his hand, tried a little smile.
I took his hand, we danced for a while.
I made a decision, I could laugh out loudly.
Looked into the mirror. Saw myself proudly.
