..Optimism.. What is optimism? Optimism is when honest isn't... It’s when you say that word Cuz what you keep wanting to happen Ends up happening different.. It’s when that night demon in your head Keeps taunting you in your bed By telling you to give in but you refuse to listen and talk back to it instead like “Hey everything happens for a reason” Ya keep on dreaming…
..Optimism.. That’s when you try to make lemonade out of the lemons that life has handed you even though they’re rotten.. That’s when you pour cold water over the dead flowers you’ve been gifted only to watch them drown when you just wanted to make them blossom That’s when you look at your own glass as half full But ignore the poison in the glass that’s it’s half full of regardless
…Optimism... When the hope that you’ve always had slowly turns into denial until you deny that you have no hope And it becomes a cycle for you to cope With something you can’t let go of Even when you know it’s long forgotten...
Ya it’s easy to say “sky’s the limit” when you’re only keeping your chin up Because you refuse to see that underneath you Is rock bottom
Optimistic -> caustic until you’re drop-kicked into a neurotic mental hardship.. so… what is optimism?
