Controlling Attitude

I hope my attitude can be

controlled, as it has been, by me.

Not a victim of circumstance

controlled by life’s cans and cants.

Not to say “i cant” but “i will.”

Keep on climbing up the hill.

Never to be like Sisyphus

and letting events control us.

We can be what we want to be

and that is my philosophy.

I live life with optimism

instead of bad criticism.

Control attitude and you’ll be

released from negativity.
