Negativity breeds Negativity

poem by: Ceri Baylis
Written on Mar 20, 2016

How can you live with such a negative mind
Only thriving on misery and tales unkind
You wonder why you have such bad luck
When its all Happiness you drain and suck
Your outlook is dark and bleak
No positivity do you seek
Inflicting your woe on all that will listen
Like a plague, sorrow you do christen
Your outlook physically drains me
I have one and only single plea
Is that you seek some positivity
What will it take for you to see
That from the bad comes negativity 
No good can come from misery 
This is the truth you fail to see.

Well said! We have enough poetry of blame and self pity. There is limited benefit in passing on sadness and negativity. Not that I don't enjoy the occasional dark drama.
