'breathe'

Exhale the pain Breathe in the joy Exhale the sadness Breathe in the laughter Exhale the hate Breathe in the love Exhale the criticism Breathe in the complements We get both joy and pain We are surrounded by sadness and laughter We are exposed to hate and love We are criticised and complemented The trick is to cling to the positives Not to mull over negativity
