Pessimist Poems - Poems about Pessimist

Where's the confidence in life You're facing a controversial world Of changes, chaos and upheavals But an optimist will see a chance in difficulty A pessimist will see difficulty in a chance You have to try to live better God only helps those who help themselves Only trials, perseverance and efforts Will accomplish something A little accomplishment means A little confidence Let's the...

What ere were warm, inviting open doors, To this man maudlin and defeated kind, Unsure, frightened, his dog-tail tucked behind, He now finds shut, keys lost at far off shores.

An optimist and pessimist were sitting in the park, Their outlooks as divergent as the light is to the dark. “I think this will be over soon,” the optimist declared. The pessimist just looked at her as if she were impaired. “Our lives will never ever be the ones we used to lead,” The pessimist asserted, but her buddy disagreed. “You’ll...

Time and fate have mocked us all, be we great or be we small. The same temptations Jesus thwarted the Church, I fear, has ofttimes courted. Luther preached before the throne: "The just shall live by faith alone." Yet ""freedom" in a peasant's ears filled great lords with dread and fears. "Workers, unite!" was Karl Marx's plea.

When young I heard the glass was either ½ empty or ½ full But with time I learned… to believe either one makes you a fool My health made me battle from the almost empty place But I came to see that… your life is not a glass or a race I always worked to fill my cup to...
