I see the good in people and I feel like an optimist.
But I hear about the evil in the world, and it makes me a pessimist.
I don’t want to seem like a downer, so I say I’m a realist.But is it a lie to tell people I am a realist
If, once upon a time, I felt like an optimist
But the world beat me down into the shape of a pessimist?Or, am I actually a fake pessimist?
Lying to myself about being a realist,
When I am secretly an optimist?I think, as a realist, I am just an optimist who wants to be a pessimist really badly.
