Your poem captures the frustration of dealing with bad days and the desire for constant positivity. Reminds me of the song in a way...

Here are some strengths and suggestions:

Strengths:

1. Emotional Honesty: The poem effectively conveys feelings of sadness and frustration, making it relatable.
2. Conversational Tone: The informal, conversational style adds a personal touch and makes the poem feel accessible.
3. Playful Tone :)
The use of playful language ("Psh, yea I'll say") adds a light-hearted touch to the exploration of a serious topic.

Consider tightening the meter to create a more consistent rhythm throughout. Some metaphors and expressions could be clearer. For instance, "drown my cup" might be rephrased for better understanding. The last line introduces a new metaphor that might feel disconnected from the rest of the poem. Ensure that the final lines tie back to the overall theme. Just my thoughts... either way 5 star poem!
