mesmerised

it’s easier to point out a mistake than to make one

while the pessimist thinks far too deep
and the optimist smiles in their sleep

while the cynic argues with the scarred,
and the romantic is somehow closer yet lost to the far

while the idealist tries hard to believe
and the sceptic prefers coffee with their tea

the realist will always realize,
to count their nods
when a wise surrenders their advice

the realist will always realize,
to mount their response
and only simple words
confuse the mesmerised.
