Optimism of the Soul

I was feeling so optimistic,
But with all the obstacles thrown,
In my way just trying to send negativity,
It only makes me,
That much more determined. 
My heart calms my mind, body and soul,
So that I can accomplish what I,
Truly desire in this life.
This negativity essentially are these,
People in our lives who are toxic and,
Aim to see us fail.
They think we have lost all hope but,
I will never give up the humanity or,
The love of others.
You have to know the difference and,
When you do your life will be,
That much more complete and,
Then you can begin living.
