When I am really low I try to remember this poem from college. I taped it in my locker so I could try to get through the day.

I been scarred and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me,
Sun has baked me,

Looks like between ’em they done
Tried to make me

Stop laughin’, stop lovin’, stop livin’–
But I don’t care!
I’m still here!

—Langston Hughes

Nice poem. I love poetry. I used to read it and write it a lot more than I do now. Maybe it is time to get into it!
