The Poetic Pessimist
Why follow dreams?
They are only illusions.
Why have goals?
They are only delusions.
Why have hope?
They are only false conclusions.
What is love?
A pain in my side.
What is peace?
Something for which fools strive.
What is joy?
A poor man's pride.
When will I have success?
The moment I try to fail.
When will I have happiness?
The moment I am happy to be sad.
When will I be truly content?
The moment I accept defeat.
