The Optimist

by @johnathan-juliano

I saw the sun today, shining warm and bright like the smiling eye of god It peaked in on me through my curtains before I had even forgotten my dreams Outside the air filled my lungs And the sky was clear and crystal blue All around me I could see the people Talking Moving Imagining Real live people Some of them are even friends of mine, People I know, who live in the world with me They say life is unkind to people like me But I say it is kinder So if I become silent and thoughtful when you say “I’ve had a bad day,” Fear not I am just reminding myself there is no such thing.
