Chin Up

Depressed heart
Just lugs a cart
Of fears and blues

Knitted brows
Just leave furrows
Of broken dreams

Downcast eyes
Just trade sighs
From barred windows

Dragging feet
Simply retreat
Into a lonely shell

Sunken cheeks
See no peaks
Only valleys of gloom

Sad thumb suckles
Cracks nervous knuckles
And hatches worries

Chin up, face up
Rinse your cup
Let your hair down

Hold your head high
Don't let today die
On yesterday's grave

Don't you doubt
Just elbow out
And get some air

Smell the roses
In heaping doses
Turn your collar up

Walk into the sun
Have yourself some fun
And whistle a tune or two
