Half Empty, Half Full

Is the glass half empty, or half full?

There it is that old fashioned
famous question people ask and,
You know I never chose one side or the other.
My answer has always been another

See I can simply dump it out
and make it fully empty.
Or I can pour more in.
and make it full completely.

So it won't matter if half empty,
or half full.
No, not as long as that I know
that I can change, and I can make it so.
The way it really looks to me,
is that it's whatever I want it to be.
