perspective and creative poetry

First, let me state for the record that this is not my poem.
I found it on facebook and tracked down its author.
I like that it is a reversible poem - how creative!

I'm recording it here so I can refer back to it as often as I want without going through the hassle of searching for it again.

Worst Day Ever?

Today was the absolute worst day ever
And don’t try to convince me that
There’s something good in every day
Because, when you take a closer look,
This world is a pretty evil place.
Even if
Some goodness does shine through once in a while
Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.
And it’s not true that
It’s all in the mind and heart
Because
True happiness can be attained
Only if one’s surroundings are good
It’s not true that good exists
I’m sure you can agree that
The reality
Creates
My attitude
It’s all beyond my control
And you’ll never in a million years hear me say
Today was a very good day.

(Now read it from bottom to top, the other way,
And see what I really feel about my day.)
