He says pessimistic attitude will take me nowhere in this life
The way a solitary setback becomes an impassable obstacle solely because of my reaction to it
Howling at unfairness of reality and the trouble it tosses my way ever so frequently
With raw negativity that overpowers any sound advice or reason
Understanding my perspective an achievement nearly impossible to unlock
And deep down know he is correct
I silently resign to a few sighs as I try to turn my point of view around
My head is stuck
Stubbornness is the glue trapping my thoughts in a bubble of cynicism
What will finally pop it?
