Negativity
Dave Oakes
I thank the universe for giving me my outlook
Rather than saddling me with negativity
Which can make the world so bleak and weary
Always finding something to cause anxiety.
To miss so much greatness in this beautiful world
Because we look past waiting for the other shoe to drop
Wondering all the time why you feel so sad and alone
Feeling the panic always so close it never seems to stop.
Life would be so hard for me to get through each day
Looking over my shoulder to see who is there to get me
I would never be able to forge my way through life
If that was all I thought there could ever be.
Are things going too well for you now
It must be that something really bad getting ready to blow
May you better find a closet and hide you face for a while
I’m sure you can find a place to hide until it is safe to show.
Well, I really do wish you all the very best luck
In all the days of trouble and worry you have before you
And I wish to express my condolences to you right now
For all the life you will have missed and never knew.
