INSOLVENCY

I woke today to find that I had lost my ambition, 

and peered tentatively in the mirror to see if I could still locate it.

Instead, I saw sadness, fear, and longing.

The sadness of lost dreams,

A fear of new tomorrows,

And a longing for hope.

I saw deep pockets where I should have seen bright young eyes.

I saw pallor where color should be.

I saw nothing I wanted to see.
