HOPELESS

I am so shattered and

so needlessly empty I

thought I had a chance I

was so expectant. Where

did that chance go?

The story was perfect.

My heart was fully engaged;

And my soul; my peers gave me

loving feedback and my

hope was pure.

The day came to celebrate

that I had won an award,

but that sweet dream was jarred;

rewards that never came

before stayed away
