Poetry about when you think something is great and everyone wants to find some flaw.

I woke up this morning with a grand idea in my head.

Struck my brain like a train and jolted me out of bed.

I ran to my study and wrote as fast as I could,

So i wouldn’t lose info. As time passed, I would.

Now that my plan is on paper and brain wheels in motion,

I start a pot of coffee to fuel my new notion.

I gather all the material. In my mind it’s so clear.

I feel confident enough to let my loved ones hear.

We all got together and I explained all the pieces.

It was very professionnally opened with my thesis.

The look on their faces evoked a strong gut feeling.

Not one spoke a word, yet I knew the hidden meaning.

 Some time had passed, maybe a minute or three

When I asked for some feedback, “Someone please talk to me!”

First chimed in my mother, then boyfriend, then all others,

“What’s the Point?” “Whose it help?” “Is it something insurance covers?”

Those were the questions they asked, but answers I had nought.

It’s just a cool idea is the only thing I had thought.

Well then everyone had left and i sat and i pout.

 Tommorrow my plan will be tweaked, no doubt.

So I grabbed all my things, especially my dignity up off the floor.

 The once grand idea in my head seemed not so grand anymore.
