I've lost everything,

My home.

My car.

My children.

Even my damn cats.

I have nothing.

Boxes in a storage unit.

All due to an error in judgement.

Hubris, the Greeks called it.

The tears finally come.

Grief at letting everyone down.

I have failed in my role as

Provider.

Nurturer.

Mother.

The keys jingle as I lock the door

For the last time.

Walking away.

Nothing to vindicate

My actions.
