To the optimist

Heed my words with due concern,

One of you will not return.

The journey is far,

It’s never near,

Its wrought with lies, despair and fear.

You cling to life,

That one dear breath,

But this path has strife,

It will bring death,

Remember that the end is near,

Trust me when I say it will end in tears.

I do commend how hard you fight,

To life’s ideals, 

You do hold tight,

But trust me yes,

 the end is near,

Let go of that which you hold dear.

That smile you keep will surely wane,

You keep it on,

 it’s all in vain.

Do not condemn your soul pain. 

This optimism is just insane.

I warn you now the end is near,

Leave this body, run far from here.

Whether it be joy that soon departs,

Or love from this now fragile heart.

Or kindness dug from the depths of my soul,

Maybe all of these I will let go

I told you that the end is near,

The darkness reigns with death and fear.

The time for light has long since passed,

Forget about a better path.

Forget that there was ever joy,

Remember, happiness is just a ploy.

Know the premise of love was just a trap,

And the being kind is a load of crap.

You see don’t you, 

The end is here,

Its never been this crystal clear,

If ever you save your heart, 

Then let your earthly “joys” depart.
