Optimistic Pessimist

by

Katherine Tildes

Life is just life
No secrets
No hidden roads
No guidebook

Is there a meaning to it?
I fear no one knows.
I don’t think we’re supposed to know.
The answers aren’t really there,
we just made up the questions.

"No one knows, never will"
A line from a favorite song
How true it really is
Sometimes it just takes time
to understand what you are doing
Why you are here
Even then you can’t be really sure
You think you know
and then you find out you are wrong

Doors open
Doors shut in your face
But I believe in Fate
Life takes you where it wants
You have some say,
It is your life!

And then there are days where
I’m not so sure Fate exists.
Is there really a Goddess and God?
I ask myself all of these leading questions
and never really find the answers.
The truth hidden behind locked doors.

Listen to depressing music,
read fantasy books,
and dream of better days.
But where they really better,
and why do I continually think of the past?
Sometimes the fear and the angst take over,
embracing my head in filthy clutches.
Then I am lost,
wandering around in a foggy haze.
Eventually I will be saved,
clarity of thought comes back to me.
But I still have to ask:
WHY?!
