optimism revisited

they tell me
anything
than can go wrong
will

but still

i can't be brought down.

i should know better.

i shouldn't let
my
hopes
rise

but i can't be
bothered
to care.

i know
the crash
that could
would
maybe
possibly
probably
follow.

i've been down that road before.

but it's
too
late
now.

i'm in
over
my
head.

you're
worth
it
all.
