A single shard,
destroyed it seems
All my work is for nothing,
the tears come then.
A robber came and wrought
vengeance.
My hopes are shattered.
But then
An idea floats before
my eyes, Perhaps
there is still hope!
Joy floods through me
as I set out again with
new found purpose.

New beginnings; what you thought was the end, but turns out to be a catalyst. These are what inspired me. I hope whoever reads this will take something away with them, something to help them through days when nothing seems to right.
