missing optimism...

Today, I woke with a bit of optimism missing.
I couldn't find it anywhere.
I checked under the bed, in my underwear drawer, amongst my shoes and in the jewelry box.
I rummaged through my cubbard, in the fruit bowl and within the refridgerator.
I looked in the medicine cabinet and down the drain that was full of hair from my bath the night before.
But it wasn't there.

Everyday I miss it less. Should that scare me?
