HOPE

I'm the ultimate pessimist.
You see the glass half full.
I'm just waiting for some asshole to come smash it with his fist.
There's good.
There's evil.
Optimism is just a weak attempt at hope.
That's why when people lose it they run to dope.
There is beauty but ugly is the angry jealous twin who always seems to win.
Why have hope when in the end it is all fake.
Just a belief, a misconception that gives the hopeless an erection and the pessimists a headache.
You might find my thinking shocking but this is my confession.
Life so far has taught me one Hell of a lesson.
The poor broken hearted hold onto hope all alone.
Leaving messages on a distorted line with nobody on the phone.
I understand if you don't grasp my pessimistic view.
But I am me and you are YOU.
