When the blue downs come along
Like a mean streak bearing down
Stand up quickly back upon your feet
Like a tiger bare your teeth
To show them who is boss
And never ever show them that you’re weak
Put steel into your backbone
There’s no loss here but your own
If you let life knock you to the ground
You may very well be sad
But it’s better to get mad
And rouse that fighting spirit deep within

A great write. I wrote one similar today. It's all about letting go. Wonderful write.
very uplifting and sassy 🙂
Lorna,
A super duper of a write!
I’m visualizing YOU all throughout this poem! I don’t think you let anything get you down! If you’re knocked down, I’m positive you spring right back up each time!
I enjoyed the read very much!
~Laura~
Well I've never been tested the way some people have so can't say what I'd do then....... I've been noticing more and more what a big heart you have in your supportive comments to others L! Good for you!
Thank you, Lorna!
I write what I feel! It stems from my own experiences! Once upon a time, there was a difficult and dark period in my life! (If I refer to it in some of my comments from time to time, it’s from a long time ago!) I was helped and I learned a great deal from that experience! I try to stay positive and see the good in everyone from my own experiences! If I can help in some way, why not?
Have a great Sunday!🤗

Thanks Brian...... I recently found Mean Mary (anything but) and her extraordinary talent and life....... she's inspirational to read about and here she is singing at 6 years old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9QlTfHHZKI
Perfectly done there is definitely something in the air.
Thanks AP.........
And be proud of who you are - fine work - so well expressed,
Thanks Michael.........
Doh! I might only get really angry - oohh about once every 5 years! lol. I have me moods though, not always the full-blown thing! lol.
An angry Orchi must be a terrible thing to see!
I enjoy your poem. With God all things are possible. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. I am not sure if we should get angry though, but I see what you mean.
Persistence is key
Thanks for the pep talk. very nice
Great message! Love it!
Very good positive write, rise up and move forwards into a wonderful future.
