After the Cup Has Run Dry by David Ash

Optimism is a funny thing. For many, they swear by it, but for many others as well, it is proved to be wrong, through circumstances, which usually are outside of that person's control entirely. I'm not saying it's bad, no not at all, just not accurate at many times. I will sum it up with this: if you've ever felt like your life has plunged into the darkness that is unsuccess, failure in any aspect of your life, regretting things you've done years before or you've failed to do, or suffered the loss of love, or have felt the sting of loneliness or rejection, these are the poems for you.
