My Glass

My Glass

I keep talking a lot

Almost everyday

With my half empty

And the half full glass

Don’t want to offend both

Optimist and pessimist

The rest in between have somehow

Become my friends

And they don’t care

My glass is never empty though

Never has been

Ice soda and a spirit

I can afford that day

Tomorrow ??

What’s that

And I don’t care

As long as my glass is half full

And also half empty

Everyday

  1. Shashi, you’ve captured the complex interplay between optimism and pessimism, celebrating the acceptance of both perspectives without judgment… And you’ve done it so well!

    Sincerely,
    David

    • Thanks a lot David. I consider it a mighty big praise, coming from you. You got what I wanted to convey.

      We unnecessarily try to bracket ourselves and others. When in reality life is an overlapping mess. It swings between beautiful and ugly, never staying in the same place.
