Sense of Purpose

I woke up this morning
and my cat was crying

He must have been having
the same dream I was

Where I felt useless,
an abject failure

It's a familiar dream,
I know how it goes

And there's never
a happy ending

Those days have long
since passed for me

So, there's nothing left
to do, it seems

But to get up 
and feed the cat
