Why so negative?

Something to think about

Why so negative?

This onus is not going to fix itself

it depends on itself

it deflects on itself

No matter how many times I divert, avert – and hurt myself

I can't seem to change

Just the feeling of self pity alone can bring me the gratification

But why?

I wallow in all this self pity and still wonder why I feel alone

No one has betrayed me but myself

(This was written in 2022)

It is now 2023 and I don't feel the same

This onus is mine and it belongs to me

I am a strong believer of you will get what you deserve, and I don't look at it in such a pessimistic light anymore.

So basically when I think about it, or of it I just feel genuine positivity and it acts as reassurance to me now.

I don't really ask for peoples advice anymore too, because I have sort of learned that this life is mine and it belongs to me. I've also learned I should treat my life as I am catering to a child with needs that I have never addressed before. People undoubtedly care for children so that is why I am attempting to treat the needs in my life like the needs of a child.
