Jessica Roux - Pestilential Vengeance

'Two negatives make a positive'
(HAH) !
-all i'm taught is lies.
Finding meaning in a pile of rotten scum can be toilsome.
Why am I persistent in finding something good out of all this mess?
Is there even a damned ounce left?
Optimism really only works half the time.
The other half I'm left at the start, never to reach the finish line...
