It’s easier to be pessimistic,
to keep low expectations.
But the elevation
is far too low,
I’m underwater
with reservation.
Optimism shines the light,
but can blind reality.
Hope and trust,
doing what I must,
is the path
that feels right to me.
I know my words
I know my voice,
I know each mindset
is eventually my choice.
I strive to laugh
I strive to play,
I strive to love
each and every day.
It’s not the greatest
it’s not the worst,
but it is my way
to not feel cursed.
