Here I go again,
throwing my life in the trash.
No trace of motivation,
or an ounce of determination.
An optimist at day,
and procrastinator by night.
Somebody show me guidance,
somebody show me light.
People call me a pessimist,
but i'm a realist at heart.
Im not so naive to think,
that life is a beautiful art.
It has so many twists and turns,
leaving marks and burns.
It's the heart that gets the lesson,
but the mind never learns.
At the end of the day,
It's just me, myself and I.
Nothing else I can really do,
nothing but just try.

Very nice. I liked the part, "People call me a pessimist, but i'm a realist at heart." I honestly laughed when I read that one! I liked this poem, it sounds like excuses people make when they don't want to turn something in in our science class. Very good writing!

I think there is great flow to this, especially the second half where it seems to pick up pace.

It's so easy for me to relate to this...it's tough to keep your chin up sometimes. Really nicely written.
