Half Full/Half Empty



All my life my optimism  knew  no bounds

Until you came along and broke my heart

Now  I  find   myself  exacting   tit   for  tat

And   praying  that  I  won't  fall  all  apart!

I always thought with hope or expectancy

And  never  watched  for  bad  in anything

BUT  LOVING  YOU  HAS  MADE  ME

TAKE    A   DIFFERENT   TACT   N O

LONGER DO  I  THINK  MY  HEART

IS KING. I REALIZE THAT OTHERS

HAVE  A  HAND IN IT--WHETHER

MY HEART WILL OR  WILL NOT

SING.   SO   DON'T   BE   ALL

UPSET WHEN I  SEEM  TO

BE PESSIMISTIC IN MY

ATTITUDE. YOU

DID  IT

TO  ME

WHEN

Inspired by a survey asking whether I perceived a glass as half empty or half full.
