So-Called Negative

Negativity,

They say that I am negative, but

they did not think to question what

made me this way,

Depression is no burden, I never asked for it.

You would think depression would not

be a reason to leave someone, yet few stay

I loved you kindly, but for you I was

just a chore

Is it negative, or is it just pain

One who has walked through hell, but

still manages to smile amid the rain.

Is it too much to ask to be

loved with sway,

a soft smile, a warm embrace

Is it negativity or is it the lack of love

that drives me to be so-called negative

as claimed above

The world is a cold, lonely place

Those only out for themselves

but many of us craving that same

warm embrace

So, I ask is it that I am

negative, or am I just hurt

that I have loved so many,

yet have always been left in the

dirt.
