Glass half empty
Glass half way full
A perception I could never see
A way of thinking I could never acquire
To my defeatist brain, optimism is foreign knowledge
A foreign concept I was never able to grasp
Perhaps my pursuit for such way of thinking was lacking in determination
Perhaps I was never really seeking
But how can I really be looking for a way of life when all I see are the negatives to its best aspects?
As if fighting a ferocious lion, I find myself powerless
Helpless against this mindset of mine that rules my thoughts
This mindset of mine that blocks me from hope
Yet I can never truly complaint
These doubts of mine shield me from the excruciating pain of self-disappointmentÂ
How can I ever change something that keeps me safe?
How can I ever change something that keeps me sane?Â
Defeatist and pessimistic are traits I will gladly accept
As optimistic and irrealistic are one of the same in my glossary
And the latter is a trait I refuse to have define me
Pessimism is one of my greatest qualities
It will help to propel me to greater heights in my life; of that I am sure
Which is why I will always see the glass half empty

Bloody brilliant in my opinion, I think I have a soft spot for poems that are written as a single train of thought. Really gives light to a poets emotions and way of thinking. Enjoyed this one Yohann, welcome to the Cosmos!
I definitely agree. Having a single train of thought gives the poem the chance to go in deeper lengths in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed this one. Hopefully you'll enjoy my future ones as well.Â
Agree with Max
'Pessimism is one of my greatest qualities'Â
