Pessimistic Me

Corrupted world and hateful lies

Asking questions beats sad goodbye

where pain is not the utmost pain

But rather pain is what’s to gain

Expectation is my life

But recognition’s like a knife

Reputation is my soul

But who could tell I’d stoop that low

Coughing smiles, crying joy.

Living life like one big ploy

No one’s here to witness me

Laugh at death while filled with glee.
