I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

To the Girl who said Life sucks


1. I have heard people say how
Life can be the most
amazing experience.
That is all you have to do
is get over yourself
to try your best to be happy.
I can’t count how many times
someone has told me that
life doesn't have to be
so depressing or
that I choose my day to be
gloomy all the time.
When I try to ask for advice,
it always seems to be the same.


2. Just put a brave face on and
seize the day.
Try your best to
have an optometrist outlook
even if you can tell your perspective has
been and is a pessimistic one.
Try to stop and smell the roses.


3. (My response to myself when optimism
once again seems to fail me)
Get the fuck over
yourself.
No one ever said “Life was gonna be easy”
So why are you so surprised?
The world doesn't revolve
around you and nobody cares about your issues.
Try to care about others for once.
They always care about you,
(those of which you don’t even know if they want
something in return or not)
now give back and care about them for once.


4. Stop making life more complicated than it is.

  1. Well said. Clairvoyance is important. I enjoy the spacing you use throughout the poems I have read so far. Excited to read more!
