You want me to be
Someone other than me
To be positive about things
I feed off negativity
There is no other way
That I can live

Anger pushes me on
From every dawn
Sorrow rages on
More each day
Sadness is what I keep
Nothing can change me
Each day I go on
Feeding off negativity

Where did your life get you?
You're telling other people what to do
Since when did you have the right to?
Being positive is useless to me
I live on to feed off negativity
And you're giving me enough to breathe [comments] => 4 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

No Other Way

You want me to be
Someone other than me
To be positive about things
I feed off negativity
There is no other way
That I can live

Anger pushes me on
From every dawn

Sadness is what I keep
Nothing can change me
Each day I go on
Feeding off negativity

Where did your life get you?
You're telling other people what to do
Since when did you have the right to?
Being positive is useless to me
I live on to feed off negativity
And you're giving me enough to breathe
