Reaching Out
These days,
I find myself reaching out.
Reaching out for love,
Reaching out for 'like'.
Reaching out for anything
That can make me feel whole.
Reaching out for
the feel of hands that caress;
creating hope,
dispelling hopelessness.
...If only for a while.
Excuse me,
Mister Optimist.
I prefer not to be called
A pessimist.
Because a realist
Realizes
His situation.
And mine is always
Very grim.
So how am I a pessimist,
For learning from the past
Of this..?
