Do I Need A Reason?

Thinking negative thoughts,
is what I like to do.
Thinking of the worst,
seems to console me.
Thinking I can't do it,
without even trying.
Thinking they don't like me,
whatever they do to me.
Do I need a reason to be like this?

Being pessimistic is what defines me,
I can never think good things.
My mind is filled with undesirable thoughts,
My life has never been good.
No one amuses me, why do you care?
Life had been so harsh, leave it that way.
Why do I live like this?
It makes me happy, they don't understand.
Do I need a reason to be pessimistic?
