When the world is upside down
Every smile looks like a frown,
Every scowl looks like a grin,
Every loss looks like a win.

When the world is upside down
It is the sky in which you drown,
It is the sea in which you fly,
It is the low that is a high.

When the world is upside down
You will not see me with a frown.
I much prefer this world of mine
Where troubles all appear as fine.

The truth is that at some point, everyone&#039;s going to hurt you. You just have to decide who&#039;s worth the pain.<br /> <br /> Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.
