This is a short poem i found that expressed how i feel right now...
This morning I woke up,
Bursting with confidence,
Overflowing with excitement,
I was convinced I'd done it,
Convinced I had succeeded
When I found out the news,
I was crushed,
Feeling empty and broken,
But somehow I managed,
To pull myself together,
Determined not to cry
Determined to be fine
Disappointment can be bitter
You feel as if you've lost your worth
But without disappointment,
We have nowhere left to go
Hope can be amazing,
You feel ready to face a better future
Because without hope,
We are forever lost
This morning I woke up,
Grasping for perfection,
Tonight I fall asleep --
Perfection eluding me,
But hope residing in my heart.
