I realize that I'm a pessimist. I have been for a long time. It's just that I use it as a defense mechanism...a way to cope. If I think of the worst thing that could possibly happen, then I can't be disappointed or upset or hurt because usually the situation has turned out better than I thought it would, therefore protecting myself. See, it makes sense...but how miserable for you, my friends...to hear about it day after day. To be truthful...I'm getting tired of it as well...so I'm going to try and just stop all of that negativity. So hold me accountable, call me out, help me to change. Really, I'm ready to look at things from a different standpoint.
Dig a ditch deep enough
To keep you clear of the sun
You've been burned more than once
You don't think much of trust
Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has
Lord it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all
Oh look, now, there you go with hope again
But I'll be sure your secret is safe with me
