Some deny the importance of negative thoughts,
Thinking instead positivity reigns supreme,
But what of the thoughts
That acknowledge failure as a reality?

Could it be that thinking with caution
Instead of the idea of perfection
Allows a process
Of making the right decision?

Nothing is perfect and
Nothing is disastrous,
But my truth is that balance
Is where success waits.

To only be positive
Is to be naive,
To only be negative
Is to be lost.

To share in those poles
Is to find steadiness
Which only comes when a person accepts
The positivity of negative thoughts.
