Which one’s easier?
To focus on the good?
Or the bad?
The negative
And the sad,
Or the positive
And the glad?
Lately, I’ve been wondering why people tend to see the bad first. Maybe it’s negativity bias—our brains are wired to notice danger more. Bad things feel stronger, stick longer. Stress and self-doubt don’t help either. But the good is still there… just harder to see.

When I’m not there,
Would someone care,
And notice that I’m gone?

Would someone think of me?
Miss me?
And if so, who?

Would someone do anything just to hear me,
With that voice like the waves of the salty sea?
Would they stack a gazillion files,
Just to reach me on my mountain to see my smile?

Would someone’s chest be an empty black void,
And feel like they’re being toyed?
Cause I’m gone, not there,
For them to smile at and stare.

And when I'm there,
Which one of them would care,
And have a glow so bright,
That could light up the darkest night?

But who?
And if there was someone,
Would I think of them like that too?
You

You
Soft, dark ringlets,
Scattered across your brow.
Your hands covered in trinkets
And holding a soft linen gown.

A crooked smile on your face
And deep dark eyes ablaze.
You, with the tie of lace,
The greatest thing to gaze.
