I'm not a pessimist...
but sometimes my poetry makes me sound like one

I'm not a pessimist, I said
as the words wrote themselves.

I'm not a pessimist, I thought,
but my poetry makes me sound like one.

I'm still not a pessimist, though.
My heart just gets sad sometimes
and relieves itself through these poems.
