pessimist

"we" are not
broke

its your story

"we" haven't had
bad luck

for i find lessons
in all things

"we" are not
afraid

the fears
belong to you

"we" are not
depressed

you play
that instrument
alone

ive tried to help
because no one
else will

but now
its clear
you only see me
as your reflection

so you can
feel validated
in your misery
