The Struggle of Optimism
Pessimism creeped through every crevice of my soul
constantly my head was down negativity had a hold,
My mind was a whirlwind of emotions
spiraling so deep as if I conceived the ocean,
Just as I was about to drown something pulled me up
at first it was foreign so I was eager to learn more
what even had the strength to pull me up ashore.
It came with brown eyes, no lies, and blue skies
long walks, one sided talks but still just as effective
that energy that wasn't me begins to flee but my liberator has none.
My darkness transforms to bliss
the moment my cheek is licked wet with a kiss,
My mouth cannot close my teeth fully exposed
as my lips become one with my ears.
My tears were once the victims of pain but
now they are the product of joy,
He came to warm me and to warn me
sometimes my optimism will fade
However, life's all about balance outcomes are limitless and boundless
it took a hero on all fours to bring me ashore
pretty hard to fathom.
