I tell myself
That I’m grown now,
_____________________
So there’s no need
To frown
_____________________
When life tries
To push me down.
_____________________
I often wonder how
The eternal idealists,
The emotionally deficit,
The humans with wings
On their feet,
Are able to exist,
_____________________
When I struggle daily
With biological countdowns,
And feelings of inadequacy,
Which often lead me towards
A downward spiral.
_____________________
I tell myself
That in life,
There is magic-
_____________________
Is there anything
More tragic
_____________________
Than being an optimist
Trapped inside a pessimist,
_____________________
Allergic to hope,
But needing faith to cope?
