am i an optimist or a pessimist?
does pessimism has something to do with the weather?
because i like rainy days.

i could always use some sunshine in my life,
where things appeared vibrant and radiant.

am i an optimist or a pessimist?
does this have to do with paranoia?
because i always expect the worst when someone is about to tell me something,

"did i knock the car behind me?"
"why (someone) wanted to see me? did i screw up something?"
"am i going to lose all my hair by the age of 29?"

am i an optimist or a pessimist?
does this have to do with naivety?

until one of them shattered my trust.

am i an optimist or a pessimist?
does this have to do with seriousness?
i'm surrounded by people who take things way too seriously sometimes.
