Optimism


Optimism,

not just a word

but a thought process that ignites motivation

and adds a special spark to each person.

 

Optimism,

not just a feeling

but a state-of-mind that one can choose

which can turn dreams into reality.

 

Pessimism,

the opposite of optimism

that can obliterate dreams

and turn nightmares into reality.

 

Optimism,

the one thing that keeps me going

provides inspiration, determination, and euphoria

even in the tough and rough times.
