Am I a Pessimist?

Am I a pessimist?
Not at all!
I had viewed my 'cup' as being half full.
But I do admit...
I now mind my business.
When I see a 'mack' truck approaching someone,
And they are clueless?
I use to warn them.
They use to return those warnings with attitude!
Now I turn my head...
And enjoy a full cup these days!
It's comforting knowing I can just walk away!
Afterall...
I've been told I am too intense.
But it is difficult holding a full cup steady!
With practice,
I am sure I will be fine!
