so maybe "optimist" isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.

everyone needs to tell their life story, everyone needs a biggest fan.
if nothing else, this is a shot.



if i were an optimist i'd say
you could go to the moon
you could win gold in the olympics
you could become president
you could be noticed

more people care about the homeless
than the average man
that's you.
most people would sooner take your money
than lend you a dollar
have you ever tried asking?
i'm still being an optimist.

if i were an optimist i'd say

maybe you could be the one to fix me

and frankly from the irregularity of my heartbeat
and seeming coma-like-stasis of my brain

I'd say i'm an optimist.

or at least holding on. so please; hold on.
