Misery is optional - or so they say.

Misery equates to:

a cup of tea willingly left to mould
funny DVDs left unwatched
friends pushed aside or neglected
refusing to wear a hat in the cold

Seeing this
I can tell misery is optional

Seeing you
On a dark day is hard

Seeing me
I'll try to break that option of misery

If only it were, Pixie. How many people would opt for misery if there were a way out? Sunny day here in Shanghai, but a dark day where I am. Thanks for drawing me to you poem and giving me a chance to break that option.
