When the snow melts, so does my despair

as I look forward to better and warmer climes

to get back outside, away from my dark lair

as summer brings out good weather and times.

New beginnings create an atmosphere of new hope

that the spring will foster peace, harmony, and love.

Praying for the best doesn't make someone a dope

as dreams and optimism is what bliss is made of.

Yet many people are always so gloomy and sad

incapable of seeing the good that is around them.

Feelings will come and go, like a terrible teen fad

know this and stop being under depression's thumb.

Happiness will come to those that truly want it

so get out of your own way, you sniveling hypocrite.
