Hope.
I will be alright, I will be 'fine', I will be kind & polite & therefore I shall forever 'shine',
I will be grateful, I will be 'happy', I will be graceful & I will be 'slick and sassy',
I will use positivity all the 'way', I will turn darkness into light every single 'day',
I will extinguish the negative 'flaming-fire', I will bring positivity to my life, its meaning and its 'perpetual desire',
I will make the right decision and 'choice', I will embrace precision and use a confident 'voice',
I will be free from illness & 'disease', I will live life healthy and glide with the 'breeze',
I will learn from my 'mistakes' & I will walk on those thorny 'flakes', I will reach my destination even if getting poked is what it 'takes',
I will have a smile under my lifes 'caption', I will steer the boat wisely as I am a true positive 'captain',
I will confidently speak instead of 'choke', I will positively 'invoke' instead of 'provoke',
I will find a way to happily 'cope' and not cry & sadly 'mope', I will happily laugh and I will amazingly 'joke',
I will filter the air through and say yes instead of 'nope', I will not hurtfully run away and immaturely 'elope',
& finally, I will close my eyes, take a deep breath and realize that life is filled with everlasting 'hope'.
