Words of an Anti-Pessimist

[nikkinoodles]

if i said life was a river would u criticise the stones,

just because they're a digust to you?

why not look at the sparkle and the glitter,

that you ignored when looking with hate.

 

if i handed u a flower,

would u moan about the thorns?

you do not see the petals,

bright and sweet as they might be.

you can always cut off the thorns,

though the stalk would look odd and bare,

the thorns give it personality,

and protection from your taunts.

 

when the sun is shining why do u predict the rain?

is it so had to believe,

sun can come for two days?

u cannot predict the weather,

it is seen within ur style,

you never see the weather nice,

it is always pouring with rain.

 

you cause urself pain by focusing on all that is wrong,

step back and open ur eyes,

u may be surprised to see,

happiness in the world of pain you created it to be

then wen life is fine and working,

why waste you time and be upset,

with what might never be?

just sit back and relax,

take life as it comes,

and never look back.

 

only see the cracks wen u reach them,

or you'll be too scared to go on ahead.

 

 

 

wow! i usually think up more angst poems and i don't like them so much, havnt wrote one in months though, so maybe im just happy at the moment, and it may not be a typical poem with rhymes or any rhythm but i feel happy bout it, a feeling of accomplishment

That was great...and I read your contentment between the lines. Isn't it wonderful that when we're happy the world just looks so much more beautiful!!

 

Thanks for sharing,

That was good! I can't write when I'm happy, only when I'm down. But that was good. Usually when I read happy stuff I'm like omg.... But not this...it made me smile. It was really great!
