I always tend to be an optimist

But these days I’m not quite sure

Every day it gets harder and harder

I don’t know how much I can endure

I try not to get overwhelmed

By the daily routine of my life

But I’m stuck in a rut, an abyss

One that’s filled with unbearable strife

Pessimism was never my forte

Though the times have changed, you see

I’m beginning to think I’ve forgotten

How beautiful this life can be
