Optimistic is a virtue

Optimistic is a virtue

A Poem by Ness of Love
"

I wrote this for a friend. She may not know its for her, but it is.

"
“How can you be so optimistic in life when all of these terrible things are happening?”
Its because I’m optimistic.
Optimistic is a virtue
A way of life for some.
You have to understand something
I know the truth
Optimism is not truth
But it brings happiness
People need a little happiness in this sad, cruel world.
“Why have happiness from a lie?”
Why crush a person’s hope of something?
Why crush your own dream with reality?
We all know the truth in this world
The sad, mistaken truth that shreds any hope
You may never change
You may never have that someone special
But doesn’t it feel better if you tell yourself that you can?
“It doesn’t make me feel better. I don’t see the benefit from it.”
I can smile from my optimism
I can laugh from it
In general, I accept it
I accept everything that it is
It helps with all the goals
The realistic goal in life is already accomplished
The pessimistic goal in life is getting there
The optimistic goal?
No, far from accomplished.
“Then why care?”
Optimism is to give hope to people
Nothing is impossible
Impossible is only for pessimistic
Half way there is realistic
Who thinks that nothing good could ever happen?
Good is everywhere
You just have to open your eyes and look up!
You just have to be optimistic.

And I happen to be pessimistic about myself. :P Other people, I'm pretty optimistic about. But when it comes to me, that's all I can really be. (that rhymed lol). Cause for me and in my mind, looking at stuff and thinking I may deserve better or thinking that I'm better then I am is completely untrue. I see myself and my situations in the lighting that fits me perfectly.

I write when I feel the emotions of a story. That is why I write. In a easier way, what I feel I write. A girl who writes, how not original. Writing is a way I express myself, as is other writes most .. more..
