The Realist &
The Optimist
By: Jilliane Mortimer
"What is Wealth?" by:
CAMERON REYNOLDS
The Realist says to me,
responsibility over everything.
The Optimist says to me,
happiness over all.
The Realist drops me off at work.
The Optimist drives me near and far.
The Realist holds the ugly truth.
The Optimist, a beautiful lie.
And I'm just a mess in between the two,
One objective: getting by.
