Optimistic Correction 101

You gotta be right never wrong. 

You gotta smile and learn to hide your tears away 

‘til it’s safe to let them out. 

You gotta be right never wrong. 

Put your feelings on paper to trick your soul that you’ll 

eventually bring this to somebody’s attention. 

You gotta breathe and breathe bravely. 

I keep telling you, trying to remind you, be right never wrong. 

You don’t listen to me and knowing this makes me want to scream.

I wanna scream so loud, but I know that screaming would be wrong, never right.

So, I’m sorry. 

I guess I have to learn to control what I feel. 

Don’t be like me, please be right never wrong. 

Listen to me! 

Listen to me please, listening is right never wrong. 

Trust me. 

I understand while you’re listening to me, 

you have things you don’t like that I’m saying. 

You have disagreements, 

but you must not let me see that you disagree. 

Showing any feelings while you’re out in the open, 

is wrong, 

it’s being vulnerable. 

Don’t be vulnerable, that’s very wrong, 

never right. 

Very wrong. 

Stop that! 

You know what you open yourself up to when you’re vulnerable, 

you know what “they” do with vulnerability. 

I’m still here in front of you and you’re acting like you don’t hear me. 

Knowing this makes me want to pound my fist and bring you back to reality. 

I want to bring you back to reality because you’re twenty years old 

and you still don’t seem to understand the real world yet. 

You don’t seem to understand the real world yet, 

because as you stand here I still see stars in your eyes. 

You mustn’t have stars in your eyes because that 

means you still believe in being optimistic. 

Don’t be optimistic! 

You’re making me very angry. 

Don’t make me angry by being optimistic. 

Optimism is very unrealistic and never right. 

Don’t be wrong! 

Don’t worry because I used to be optimistic, 

but then the world turned me around like a parent to a disrespectful child and

showed me what’s wrong from right. 

Be right,

never be wrong!

YOU’RE STILL NOT LISTENING TO ME AND
IT’S REALLY STARTING TO GET TO ME! 

I’m sorry, 

I’m in the wrong, but

I see I got your attention now.

Please learn from this little experience, 

I was vulnerable and almost lashed out. 

Don’t lash out, 

it’s worse than being vulnerable. 

Don’t do either, 

unless you’re behind closed doors and remember only you can judge yourself. 

Oh, understand I’m here to help you, but 

please understand I am not alone in this matter. 

We can’t judge you all the time even though that’s the most effective 

way to help somebody in your situation. 

So, when you’re behind closed doors please continue to take our advice 

and help yourself. 

Help yourself by judging yourself. 

Just simply look in the mirror and tell yourself all of the things that we 

won’t say to you at all. 

This is always right never wrong. 

Please be right never wrong. 

Be right never wrong. 

Oh, if things aren’t going so well, 

please understand we were like you once upon a time, 

we even used to think like you and had starry night sky eyes like you, 

but we were corrected with time. 

YOU’LL BE CORRECTED WITH TIME.
