A Pessimists Rebuttal

I’ve noticed positivity attracts but

What’s positivity in the grand scheme?

One can never feel motivation to live

Without feeling an inclination to die

In the same breath

When A transparent mans thoughts run awry

It’s not often he reveals thoughts of a blue sky

But rather thoughts of an imminent casket

A place so dark, no others could match it

And when truth be told is as such

We tend to not think of much

We tend to think of the lack of anything

A place we’re approaching

So simple and complex

The concept we can’t understand

Is the concept that all life demands

Truth be evident

The ones who tend to be the most positive

Have the lives of something that’s fabricated

They live lies to avoid being aggravated

If pessimism is to teach anything

It’s to teach an intrapersonal awareness

That in the honor of fairness

Sees life for which it is

And not life for which it could have been

Because could have Weighs heavily

On the mind of someone who’s readily

Pursuing veracity

With the eyes of peerless limpidity

But In the mind of someone who’s similes

Consist of lies and delusional imagery

Their demise

Can be summarized as critically

Misinformed, in a storm of idiocy

So to a truth seeker who is as he claims

Living life in the perspective of flames

Is not only implied

But roughly self evident

And In the end, these truths are definite
