Forgotten
I can feel it
It's gone
Disappeared
just like me
Thought it would last
foolish,
hopeful
wishing
leads to this disease
of the heart
You won.
What was your motivation?
I'd really like to know..
Naive
that's my name
It's written across my face
I'll survive?
Ha.
I'm already dead.

This is a poem on what a pessimistic person like myself feels when their attempt at optimism is crushed
