Pause with me a moment
This won't take too long
Striving
For shy of melodic
This won't be a song
Join me
In my pondering
Just for a second
Ya know
We all got
That special special friend
That's a little too positive
Right to the bloody end
There's nothing wrong
With having
A good attitude
But sometimes
Boy howdy
You just ain't in the mood!
Hyper Optimism
Is quite an annoying quirk
You hate to be
That guy who fights it
You hate to be a jerk!
Never underestimate
The toil that it takes
Oft' it takes a lot of work
Just to regulate!
The moods we find
Our own selves in
May vacillate and waiver
But listen to your awesome friend
They're doing you a favor
No matter how absurd
No matter just how taxing
Hope is still
A four-letter word
No matter what your masking

November monthly Prompts:
HOPE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD
