Morning View

There are so many thoughts 
running through my head 
but very few words 
I don't know where to begin 
people ask me everyday 
how do I remain positive 
my response is usually quick 
that was until recently 
I've found myself hesitating 
only just a little bit 
yet still enough to notice 
I can't ignore what I see 
so many people in survival mode 
they want to give up 
because they're tired 
I'm tired too
mentally more than physically 
but I'm not dead yet 
and neither are my dreams 
isn't that what keeps us going
so how can we not be positive 
when every day we wake up 
is our second chance at life
to be the change we wish to see
