Neither an optimist
nor a pessimist
I take life as it leads.
It is my story in short
Having obtained a fraction
of what I should have,
I live happily, at least
outwardly.
To others, whoever it might be
I am deemed to be a receptacle
one that receives with a smile
never pours out in fury,
Contextual each incident is at large,
pushing me out from the focus
I gulp even the hardest
with grace and poise
