Only optimism kills

It comforts me, when things go bad,

To think they aren't worse as they could be.

It still comforts me, when things turn worse,

To think they aren't worst as they could be.

It still more soothes, when things fall worst,

To think they are so bad that it would better.

Thus the optimism drags me down

While the events might still worsen.
