The Pessimistic Optimist
April 11, 2009
Life
Is a dark stormy night
The people around you hate you,
Your black nails,
Your hair,
Your clothes and make-up.
They despise you for who you are.
There’s someone hiding from you all the time.
You get stabbed and hurt
You have enemies around every corner.
Hate
Tears
Darkness
Life
Life
Is a bright sunny day
The people around you love you,
Your looks,
Your charm,
Your grace.
They love you for who you are.
There’s someone there behind you all the way.
You get hugs and kisses
You have friends by your side.
Love
Laughter
Happiness
Life

that's really cool! thank you so much! it means a lot to me for you to say such great stuff! hah. I have a bunch of other poems on here too by the way. I will be putting more so watch out!
This poem is really interesting! And it defines my personality perfectly. One half of me has mortal enemies while the other half has friends that are always by my side. Its weird how people can have what seems to be two personalities, but in reality their two halfs mesh perfectly. Keep writing!!!!!
