An Ode to Positivity

Oh Positivity! Where were you, in times of misery,
When only cold winds of anger and self-pity surrounded me?
Why do you appear only in bursts of sunshine,
When all seems well with the world?

Oh Fair weather friend! What are the charms that
Authors of self help books have seen in your eyes?
Will you not reveal to me, the 'Secrets' of the universe?
Or show me the ways to 'think and grow rich'?

Would you please stay? Would you make me realise
That the glass is really half full, that the pit i am in
Could have been deeper and bleaker,
That the darkest hour of night is just before dawn sets in?

Oh Positivity, my friend! Where art thou?

Holes

Holes in the ground, I wish I could disappear into
They never appear when I want them to
People knocking, asking for things i dont wanna give
Wish I could learn just how to live

Rabbit holes transport you to wonderland
Will I find mine close at hand?
Coz I just wanna run far far away
Find a hole that would be my hideaway

Holes in my heart, I've shed many a tear
People in my life appear and disappear
Angry words, hurt and disappointment
Wish they would go away somewhere permanent

Rabbit holes transport you to wonderland
Will I find mine close at hand?
I just wanna run far far away
Find a hole that would be my hideaway

Holes in my head black and endless
Thoughts i dont wanna think or express
Things I dont wanna remember, places I dont wanna go
Carefully skirt around them, but they are still there I know

Rabbit holes transport you to wonderland
Will I find mine close at hand?
I just wanna run far far away
Find a hole that would be my hideaway
