It couldn’t have been real

But for a moment, I believed

That inspiration struck

And granted all the motivation

That I find so lacking now

With the charade ended

Truth gave me nothing

But stripped away so much

Tore apart the fantasy

And took away the reasons

Sealed off the well

I was so busy drawing from

Left me all alone

To face the challenges

Always there behind me

Nothing to reach out to

So little left to fight for

But somehow I must fight on
