Positive thoughts

Can there be positive thoughts without negative thoughts?

Turning negative into positive requires negative to come first

But what if their were no negative thoughts?

Maybe thinking positively always takes a certain amount of time

Time to change the negative thoughts

Maybe some have mastered it and take shorter time changing their thoughts

It should only take a second

But for many the change never comes

And the negative thoughts gets heavy but easier to think

And harder to change into positive thoughts

That brings peace and joy

    I appreciate the honesty here. Change isn’t instant and this piece reflects that beautifully.

    I love how thoughtful your poems are. I think that people cast negativity as if it were evil, when sometimes it is simply embracing reality. Just staying positive will not help you see the situation and work your way forward. Acknowledging reality isn't feeling sorry for yourself or bringing other people down. I also think the argument presented is slightly flawed, and I have heard it used a lot. I agree we can't have shadows without light, or evil without good etc... But you can have light without shadows, and you most certainly can have good without evil; the reverse of an argument isn't always true.
