Positifically Negative

Today I've decided
Not to be misguided
By negative feelings
I'm sick to the teeth
Of feelings of grief
Overpowering and revealing

My negative approach
Requires a coach
So my thoughts
Are more decisive
Negativity you see
It is of no use to me
I think it is derisive

So I will try today
To throw negativity away
And be a more positive person
If negativity creeps in
I'll throw it in the bin
Telling it I have an aversion

I may have left it too late.
To illuminate
My mind into positive thinking
I do not feel that strong
It hasn't been long
Before my positive thoughts
Start shrinking

Alas and Alack
Please hurry back
My thinking is getting hazy
I've had enough
Of this philosophical stuff
My negativity has driven me crazy

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/6/2023 8:31:00 PM I adore this journey of realism about positivity and negativity. So true and resonant: At a certain point, it's very hard to recoup positivity... But it can be done! Go for it, Shirley! Login to Reply Shirley Hawkins Date: 5/7/2023 12:02:00 AM I'll keep trying.

Yann Rolland Date: 5/5/2023 11:39:00 PM we are like electricity, sometimes positive, sometimes negative, we oscillate, and can't stand in a stubborned position, thanks for the "clever" and relevant penning, i ask myself too Login to Reply
