Half empty or half full?

Half empty or half full?

A Poem by Onlyme

I have done it myself
dwelled on negativity
and let it rule my life
and it has controlled me
like in slaved whipping horse
making me bleed each and every day.
I suffered at its hands.

Then one day I realized
no more.
You have got to stand up
for yourself and not
expect others to come
running to your aid or
help you all the time.

Sometimes you have got
to help yourself and go
and get what you want
for you. To make your
own life better.
Not worse of course.

As for us, humans are so fixated
on dealing with their own
woes and needs.They
don't always see that
you need assistances or
help from others around
you.

It's like my man. He thinks
the hospital should run after
him. Give him enough medication
to cover his needs. But in an ideal
world that would be great.
But nothing is perfect.

You have to open your mouth and ask.
Or you don't get. So he takes this
as they don't care about him.

When reality is. They give you
enought and no more. Rest you
have to ask for.

It all depends on how you look
at things. And I view it differently
to him.

"It's like his the glass half empty or
half full?"
