  I wrote this one upsidedown. I can't explain why, other than the thought just came to me.
So, as you read it the first words are actually
"When things are tough..." basic left to right read, just from the bottem to the top.

           At the Top
Your right where you should have been.
Look real hard and then you’ll find

If you happen to notice a grin
Next time you see your reflection

The ones you thought you left behind
Deep inside your happy thoughts

See images in mirror’s of our mind
Shut your eyes, stay real still

No matter how small a part
The happiness that each day brings

That tend to melt one’s heart
Remind yourself the simple things

The mentality, that things can turn around.
Just keep a open mind.

When everything seems upside down
and hard to accept
When things seem tough,

So I stood on my head
to see from bottom up
and realized it's so easy...
just don't try drinking from a cup...

Actually...

it reads well both ways...

and THAT's not an easy trick!

So I have to criticism to give, other
than I wish I could do so well!

Thankyou so much. Although it was a bit of a struggle for as I noticed a major drop in the flow at
"See images in mirror’s of our mind
Shut your eyes, stay real still"
I think it was more the see images in the mirrors of our minds that broke it.
Any suggestions?
