I Dare You

I dare you, baby, to question life's sweet smile. There's a twist to being unhappy, and it's an extra mile. Sunshine falls easier than rain, and the wind clears the clouds as fast as it can. So why bother to hold a frown? Think of curtains and throw your gloom down.

I dare you, darling, to stop painting shades of blue. After all, there's one radiant shade of gold for all of those darker hues. And to ponder on a problem not yet found? That's just trouble, like putting razor teeth on a clown.

I dare you, sweetling, to dance with every step. It may seem like extra effort, but it gives you more energy for being off the ground. Besides, it's impossible for your spirits to drag when your body makes a bounce. (Let's have none of that heavy melancholy - not a single ounce!)

Just try it, baby. I promise that it works. You'll be far happier than any smug downer who reads this and smirks. Darling, adopt this policy of positivity and you'll discover what it means to go on and live! Sweetling, I've drawn the picture, so all you have to do is step on in. Go on...

I dare you.
