glass half

When left
with half
in the glass
guzzle its contents
and refill
until it
overflows.

Glass is half full/empty. My last 2 poems have been terribly optimistic. Not like my true self atall.

What's awesome about this poem is it could be read as half-full or half-empty. The half-full person would revel in drinking the contents and then being able to fill it to the top to drink more. The half-empty person would scream because overflowing the cup would be wasting the precious contents that was only half-empty to begin with. Well played brosef!
