Pessimism..
What is pessimism?
Pessimism is when effort isn’t
It’s when the darkest roads
inside the tunnels that you drive
feels safer than your destination
It’s when that internal fear of peace
Sabotages your beliefs
so you refuse to listen
When that voice of reason
in you're head
becomes a danger to your safety
So you decide to give in,
to pessimism..

Pessimism..

When every new light
feels surrounded by a darkness
Every new height
keeps you grounded at the bottom
And every road traveled, no doubt,
has road damage regardless..
Ya it’s easy to say nothing works out
because your own self-sabotage
seems like the safer route
But quitting isn’t an option
So as you repair your own optics
let this water your garden:

Baby put down those narcotics
Because there’s an end to that bottle
And it ain’t what you’re wanting
This life is the gift that you’re given
to understand the lows
make you appreciate the highs
And the highs
make you appreciate the climb
And learn the sharpest knowns
come from the darkest moments
for you to appreciate your shine
So let your heart and mind align
To stop from only ever growing tired…
And only ever grow higher
only ever grow upwards..
only ever grow wiser.

Pessimism

when that optimism seems gone
Realize that you’ve been there
for yourself all along
And that life works for you,
You can always find your light
You just needed a little push
And in the end, It’ll all be right.
..everything is going to all be alright.
