Those Positive Thinkers

Those positive thinker's, you know the type,

what you think is what you'll manifest,

that like brings like,

just put yourself on a positive quest.

 

 

If they think it ever entered my mind

of being temporarily or permanently disabled

and being in pain so much of the time

or wanting to be handicapped labeled,

 

or that I wouldn't be able to go to the store

and not be able to stand up for very long

or get up to answer the door

and feel from the world, so withdrawn,

 

if they think I wanted to lose all of my friends

and lose so much of ME,

or want to see so many medical men

and have to see the looks of pity,

 

they need to change what they think,

because never did I entertain the thought

and I'll write it in big black ink,

I'M POSITIVE IT'S NEGATIVE TO SAY IT'S MY FAULT!

Ha, this is bittersweet...sadness within a very clever write. I'm 'positive' I like this one...nicely pen'd.

[Celestial Witch Child]

Love it. Extremely well done-- as usual.

what you mean in the title reflects whats in the poem. the ending is really great. I'M POSITIVE IT'S NEGATIVE TO SAY IT'S MY FAULT! well said.

haha,nice ending
the message is very clear
..it's really not good to give attention to those critics out there who want nothing but to dump you.

First, I really liked the name of the poem, it some kinda attracted me in a weird way but any ways I like the way you've conveyed your thought wrapped up in the cover of words, that is really catchy. I don't see these type of feelings being expressed, I appreciate the fact that you've given voice to them. Last line in capitals is just fantastic, THE TRUTH of all truths.. :) Keep writing and thanks for sharing.

Sometime hard to put away the negative. I like the thoughts in the poem. Life ain't easy for anyone. We do what we must. I like the last line of the poem.
"I'M POSITIVE IT'S NEGATIVE TO SAY IT'S MY FAULT!"
