Barbara Haskell - POSITIVE THINKING

Those positive thinker's, you know the type,
what you think is what you manifest,
that like brings like,
just put yourself on a positive quest.
If they think it ever entered my mind,
of being temporarily or permanently disabled
and being in pain much of the time
or wanting to be handicapped labeled
or that I wouldn't be able to go to the store
and not be able to stand up very long
or get up to answer a knock at my door
and feel from the world, so withdrawn,
if they think I wanted to lose all of my friends
and lose so much of ME
or want to see so many medical men
and have to see the looks of pity,
They need to change what they think,
because never did I entertain the thought
and I'll write it in big black ink,
I'M POSITVE IT'S NEGATIVE TO SAY IT'S MY FAULT!
