I just hate it when people tell you to "cheer up", "be happy", Stop being negative" or "get over it". All they are doing is discounting your feelings. You do have a right to have feelings. People, these days, seem to think there is something wrong with feeling. I am not saying cry and whine in your beer for days on end... there has to be limits... but pushing feelings down and refusing to allow yourself to go through the motion of feeling them is very destructive to your health. Great poem by the way. Writing is wonderful for the soul when the former is winning.
