Seeing in Black and White

I see life in black and white.
I know I'm positively right - 
except the times when I'm not,
as when I'm negatively wrought.
Then, positivity, I lack,
and I see life in white and black.

That happens to me, too. Glad to know I'm not alone. Then, people eat snacks, dogs chase cats and everything goes back to black (isn't that a stone's song, 'back to black'? I dunno)

haha, I like the part about eating snacks best! the Stones is "paint it black", but "back to black" sounds familiar.
