Good morning to you
Whoever you are
Wherever you are
Good morning to you
You woke up today
You woke up again
You got out of bed
And any day we can do that
That’s a good day
. . .
I’m trying to be more positive these days
Please don’t judge me for that
I am trying to believe in good things
I know not every morning is 'good'
And I know a relentless optimism gets annoying
I know acting self-righteous appears to be pretentious
But I get to chose my attitude
I get to choose what to believe in
I get the opportunity to nudge this little life of mine along
So if I want to try to believe that every day that we get out of bed is a good one
Then, please, be understanding
I can’t get stuck in the pit
I can’t fight the abyss
I need a little light
I need a little hope
So I’ll say it again
Good morning to you
And if that read with subtle anger brewing in it
You’d be right
I am angry
I try to ignore it
But it lingers around the corner
Waiting for it’s chance to party
And this is why
I must feed my soul relentless optimism
I have to believe in the good
I have to have hope
You better have a good day
You need to see it my way
You need to believe what I believe
Please
Believe what I believe
Don’t hate today
Don’t hate me for having things like this to say
Don’t hate the gray sky
Don’t hate their eyes
Don’t poison your mind
Don’t waste your time
Believe what I want you to believe
Become naive
Trust that good things are coming
See the darkness
But don’t let it become your fuel
No
Feed off the light
Don’t focus on the negative
Focus on the positive
Because
The stories we tell ourselves are so gravely important to how these little lives unfold for us
So believe my stories
Trust my words
Life is more than absurd
Create your own meaning
Paint your own picture
Write your own lines
Steer your own ship
This is your life, so own it
Take responsibility for it
Choose your attitude
Do exactly like I try to do
Follow my path
Do the math
Subtract the negative
And insert an illuminated path
We are magnets, you and I
And you get some conscious choose on what you attract to you
Or what you repel away
You can take every day
And try
You can hold it and mold it
You can take your little pockets of free will
And do something with it
Your thoughts are seeds
How will you grow it?
Do you know?
Or do you just trust the sun? Trust the rain?
Reach up to the sun
Plant your roots down deep
Life will give you a sliver of what you seek
Do exactly what I tell you to do
Listen with your soul
Make these ideas your home
Have a good morning
Have a good afternoon
Have a good night
If you can choose it, then do it
Live how I want you to live
Because that’ll make my life easier
It’ll confirm what I think I know
And it’ll feel good to watch you grow
So digest these words
Eat them up
Take whatever you need from them
And believe what I want you to believe
Live how I want you to live
Learn how to forgive
Learn how to trust
Learn to love
And learn to ignore lust
Don’t be different than me
I don’t have the mental capacity for an enemy . . .
I can’t have your negativity affecting me
That doesn’t fit in my box
That’s not what I want to feed my soul
I can’t look at the world the way you do
So be like me
Talk like I talk
Walk where I’ve walked
Say good morning to people passing by
And try
To convert them to our way
Have them join our cult
With these words, give them hope
Make your unique perspective my perspective
See it how I see it
Believe it
. . . what do you see?
I hope
You see the smoke . . .
I hope you know this is a joke . . .
I hope you see the irony . . .
I hope you don’t listen to me . . .
Be careful who you trust.
2,000 year old stories can get so stale and boring . . .
The only honest thing I said here was,
I hope that you have a good morning.
Everything else is just a show I'd suggest ignoring.
