people always tell
you that you should be
optimistic. never yell;
wait and see;

good things come
to those who wait;
you are only dumb
if you do nothing but hate.

cliches we've all heard
that are supposed to make
us feel better. the words
that are supposedly "all it takes".

but positive thinking leads you on
and can only result in
disappointment. gone
are the days where optimism wins.
