Optimism it just went missing somewhere sometime
Too many clouds to defuse to confuse and hardly bemuse
The optimist the pragmatist I was and I am
And then a switch is flipped pessimism is stripped
There’s light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not an oncoming train
Possibilities flow through the funnel it was not all in vain
Negative thoughts I pummel away with the pain
Stronger, wiser than before
Served up more than I asked for
Humbler than I’ve ever been
Seen more than most have seen
And yet the same human machine just like you
I’m no more worthy need no mercy don’t want no controversy
Not entitled to anything special favors or generous waivers
I’m good I’m cool, just graduated from cancer school
And I’m alive and kicking optimism’s sticking
There’s light at the end of the tunnel the path it shows is still unknown
I’m just going with the flow
