Plus(+) minus(-)

Once a freebird,
Jovial and carefree,
Immature and inexperienced,
The quest for knowledge,
The urge to explore.

Unaware of the evil world,
Of the traps, the hunters,
The birds of prey,
The perils of the night,
The threats of the day.

Lost in her world,
Unbound, the blue sky above,
The green grass below,
A stream clear and gurgling,
The vast stretch of meadows.

No fear,
No hate,
No insecurities,
Nothing to lose,
Just pure innocent love.

Unaware and blissful,
With knowledge comes the fear,
The pain, the anguish,
The sorrow, the hate,
The bitter truths of life.

Where trust turns to doubt,
Faith to distress,
Joy to pain,
Love to hate,
Everything is to be blamed on fate.

Negativity... Negativity,
Where is the good lost,
A little shoot as it blossoms,
Is smothered by other crops,
Negativity... Negativity.

Hate, Anguish, Pain, Mistrust,
The good has crumbled to dust,
Think postive,
Positive!
Positive?

Think straight,
Think positive,
Where is the positive gone,
Negativity... Negativity,
Negativity all along.
