The Pessimist and the Optimist
The Pessimist
I am a pessimist
I am miserable all the time
Everything that can go wrong does go wrong
My life isn’t worth living Why am I so unlucky?
Everyone else I know has great lives
They are all so lucky
Unlike me
My car breaks down all the time
I have so many bills to pay I never have any money
My job is the job from hell
I hate getting up in the morning and am filled with dread
Why cant I catch a break?
Its not fair that nothing ever goes right for me
No one likes me or even cares about me
I am always ill. I swear its something serious
Everyone says go to the doctors
But I don’t like doctors
They never help really anyway
My kids are all grown up and don’t need me any more
My partner doesn’t talk to me anymore
We never go out Just sit in front of the TV in a semi hypnotic state
Most of my friends are all dead or moved abroad
And im stuck here In a dead end job, With a shitty life Why is my life so full of shit?
The Optimist
I am an optimist I am too busy enjoying life to comment any further
