Optimism

I express my dark thoughts

And suddenly people assume that I am dark.

But

Through the dark tunnel,

Shines a bright light,

Optimism.

Although I wish to die,

Optimism runs through my veins,

Making me feel alive.

And perhaps the optimistic thoughts do not last,

But at least in that moment I feel it fast,

Happiness radiates through me for a split second,

And that split second is the best second I have ever had.

So do not put me down,

For the optimism will shine through,

It may not last,

But I sure feel it fast.

So I shall sit on my bedroom floor,

Smiling as the optimism runs through my door.

Let me be.

For I am where I'd like to be.
