Pessimism is for Happy People.

The definition of pessimistic is realistic, in my mind.

The naive world wants to believe that the sun shines for them.

Today you told me anything can happen, and honestly,

I didn't believe you.

I felt that you were full of lies and rainbows, sent to make me

Shut up and stop whining about my life that I so

Often want to change, but alas, I don't.

Why?

Why?!

Maybe because I can't? I don't need your hope

To make me wish for things that'll never happen.

If you expect the train to hit you, standing on the tracks isn't so

Bad. Especially when the train is late, life is grand.

You looked at me strangely when I told you my belief

In true love is very limited.

Soul mates is just a term coined up, for space filler in wedding vows.

I'm the most love-obsessed, distressed, and just plain a mess person

That you know. So how can my views be so dark?

I don't believe I'll ever be happy, you call me pessimistic,

I say I'm just realistic.

Marriage and "The One" is all about timing, my friends.

You didn't meet your sweetheart, you would've met someone else,

Maybe down the street, at the movies, maybe late at night at the bar-you 

Never know.

I know it'll never be, between me and whoever I'm longing for now.

My heart adds and subtracts new faces to stick to.

Why must yours be the face I'm drawn to?

Switching "you's" can make you tired. How about I make some sense?

He will never want..me. Because, you ask, I am me, and me doesn't get 

A happy ending....get it yet?

I am not doomed. I'm just stuck right beneath it,

Hanging on to the second "o".

If he ever shows interest it won't be genuine.

I've had enough time to learn that lesson.

They never want the love, just the action of it.

You're so naive, love isn't crossing my path.

It's way away, visiting its family.

Crazy uncle Hate has visited me one too many times.

I swear, our relationship is purely platonic.

Am I rambling? Sorry.

Guess I'm too busy being a pessimist-I mean,

Realistic.

Better to see the world with real eyes and know what to expect. I try to stay positive. But I'm concern with the world around me. I like this poem. Tells a real story with honest and logical words. A excellent poem.

The world is full of sad things, or realistic things. But there can still be optimism. I;m not saying that I don't like this poem, I happen to love this poem a lot. It is true, everything you say here is true.
