Pessimist Or Optimist

Pessimist or optimist
I opt for the latter of the two

So much sadness
in a pessimist’s life
forever contemplating
the darker side of things
hopelessness
and loneliness
manifesting
into your very being

Much joy
comes to the optimist
always noticing
the brighter side of things
encouraging
reassuring
supportive
of every new beginning

Pessimist or optimist
I opt for the latter of the two

the optimist has so many more opportunities, and is welcome in so many more situations! Your choice is valid!
