Happiness?

louise-bowman Poems

They often tell you; "Look on the bright side" Don't be so down Ha! I'm smiling on the inside Honest I am I can laugh with the best At you're pathetic cliches And this pathetic mess That you call life Well, that's a joke We're merely exisitng We're drowning in the smoke You can dress it up And say:" Stay cheerful!" But to me it's no good I need to be dull I need to be real To see the bad side Because things don't go good No ones on my side And yes I might be a little pessimistic I might bring a downer on your silly smile But I can't pretend everythings okay The realist in me can only hide a while So I'll stick to my ways, If you don't mind Because when things do go well It's overwhelming joy I find So here's to us realists Us pessimists, us sad acts Let's laugh at the happy losers When reality hits them with a crash
