Poem - Optimistic?

Yeah, I’m an optimist but there was something I missed;
It can be so easily dismissed, what a bloody twist!
Yeah, I’m optimistic that it’s all going downhill, but maybe we can take a minute and chill?

I try to see people as holistic but that's just simplistic and optimistic.

Now look, I’m sorry that maybe I made you worry my mind is clouded; my optimism is shrouded.
Consider for a minute taking a breath and a pause.
Optimism is great unless of course it's fake and comes with a clause.

I’m not optimistic for myself, it's altruistic.
Some people live in the dark.
Come on, friends, have a heart.

Yeah, I’m optimistic.
It might be uncharacteristic and artificial.
But as long as it remains beneficial then yeah, I’m optimistic.
