I'm a pessimist
There's no doubt about it
I've seen too many things
I've walked among the quiet gravestones
And wondered what it means
But a Buddhist is an optimist
They see the good in all
They can sit in a room for hours
And not feel weak or small
I wish I was an optimist
I really, really do
I want live and feel peaceful
Like all the Buddhists do
But you cannot be something
You weren't born to be
I have to deal with what I've got
I have to deal with me
And maybe then I'll be a Buddhist
Maybe then Ill feel free
but for now I'll stay a pessimist
Cause that's all I choose to see
Yes I will stay a pessimist
that truly is the key

What's the use in being pessimistic? Nice poem by the way.

Sorry it took so long to reply, i will be sure to keep that from happening again. The poem is more about accepting who you are and making the most of it, and not trying to be something you are not. Although it does focus on pessimism. I wrote it to convey realistic thinking rather than to promote pessimism. Thanks for the reply though.
