I am sharing this post from exactly a year ago; 17 July 2019 as a part of Fandango Friday Flashback
There is a tempest raging in my head
There are conflicting emotions warring
The critic wants to be let lose to wreck
The power of negativity and find faults
While the optimist wants to see sunshine
And roses everywhere and be pleased
With everything that it finds around it
Who should have an upper hand I ask
Or should both learn to exist in harmony
A balance where I can see the faults and
Correct them, count the blessings and
Exists in a plane of reality not in utopia
The prompt;
Word of the week – tempest (noun) – a violent wind storm. Synonyms – squall, storm, gale, hurricane, tornado, typhoon, cloudburst, monsoon, snowstorm, blizzard, windstorm.

I used to vacillate between positivity and negativity, between optimism and pessimism. But the tempest has passed and all that is left within me is negativity and pessimism. 🙁

I am sure you’ll find your optimism once that orange head is out of the white house

Let’s hope he actually will leave the White House. I have my doubts.
