I Need To Be More Positive
Then I wouldn’t be such a pessimist,
expecting nothing but the worst, thinking that these terrible,
awful things only happen to me.
I would take a nice big breath of the crisp air
as if it’s my first.
I’d allow myself to embrace the love and support
surrounding me, and not push it away.
I would prefer love rather than hate,
relief rather than pain,
and living rather than not living.
If I were positive, the world would be my friend.
The flowers would bloom with me,
not around me.
With positivity comes happiness too, right?
I mean you can’t possibly be depressed
if you always are looking
on the brighter side of life.
Something I never do.
I guess it’s relatively sad
but the way I see it is if i expect the worst
my hopes and dreams won’t be shattered
like they have been so many times before.
It’s just how my brain works.
I don’t know why.
If I were positive, I would be confident
I wouldn’t second guess,
I wouldn’t be obsessed with little details,
I wouldn’t be such a perfectionist.
The dissipating voices of enemies will vanish.
And lastly,
if I were positive,
I would be alive.
I would have more to say,
more experiences to discuss,
more goals,
more greatness.
