Your pessimism, a lingering shade,
Casting doubts that never fade.
In every thought, in every sigh,
A worry that hopes will die.
Yet in your fears, a truth does hide,
A need for love by your side.

Your outlook, a cautious view,
Seeing darkness where others see blue.

For hope and love to set you free.

Pessimistic Shadow

In the shadows of your gaze,
Lies a doubt that does amaze.
Each word you spoke, each frown you shared,
Turned my heart to a place scared.
Your pessimism, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every doubt, every sigh,
You made my confidence die.
Your shadow, a cold wave,
In your presence, I am brave.
In your darkness, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
