oh the agony of being a pessimist.

it's not easy to try to treasure a high while believing that once you're there things can only go down from then on.
it's not easy looking forward to the next exciting event in life, yet dreading it cuz once it's over its back to the same mundane things.
it's not easy to believe that love never lasts, at least not the romantic kind.

whatever it is, you always anticipate the fallout, and that's where it gets depressing.

thing is, the world doesnt seem to offer much to promote optimism either. all around i see people breaking up, unrequited love. i see people who are married but dont talk to each other. i hear hurtful things being said. maybe its cuz i choose to see the glass half empty. (i don't really see how this question reflects on optimism though. i mean it really depends on circumstances doesnt it. if i had to wash the glass, i'd obviously view it as half full so that i'd have an excuse to leave the glass there. if i was thirsty, i'm view it as half empty cuz there's not enough to quench my thirst. although i have a feeling i'm just talking rubbish and thats not really the point of the question but i cant really figure out how to view the damn glass.)

anyway.
one day, someway, somehow, someone's gonna get hurt. that's what i think. you're welcome to your own opinion, you're even welcome to change mine, cuz like i said, it's not easy being a pessimist.

the grey ceiling on the earth
well it's lasted for awhile
take my thoughts for what they're worth
i've been acting like a child
in your opinion, what is that
it's just a different point of view.
