Negativity


A change is a simple concept, One few are able to grasp. Change is not normally accepted, And to some, it means a new you, a new life. I’d like to change negativity. It keeps the best people sad, It crushes dreams like a bug. It forces the river of tears, The slicing of flesh. Negativity is found in many places: School, work, a restaurant, or market. It keeps peace away from an environment, It causes war among friends, and keeps hate among foes. Negativity can be eliminated, Through love and through joy. A hug, smile, kiss, or nod Can keep the negative soul from bursting. Negativity is the food to the beast; The beast of war, hate, and violence. Negativity has a simple cure, Many are quite unaware. Happiness: the all-around antidote. What some may call disgust, Others find a necessity. The negative, the positive, Always against each other. Though change is a simple concept, It is not said to be impossible.
