Employment

I wrote this out of frustration with job searching...



Overwhelmed and underprepared
Or well prepared and overlooked
Never given a chance
Never given a second glance
Always deemed unnecessary

Sunk in an overcrowded pool
Submerged and splashing about
Trying to catch a break
To pull myself out of the wake
Grabbing hold of something solid

Will my fingers falter and slip?
Will I fall back to the waters?
It's only one false move
But I've got something more to prove
I am going to make my mark

My footprint in the sands of life
My light will shine above the rest
And I will find my place
I'll finally be given space
To share my gifts with the world



...And now I have two jobs!!

Cupid's Arrow Stings


Valentine's Day came and went

Another day on the calendar is spent



Many I love you's were said

People's carnal desires were often fed



And now the rain drips slowly

The flip side of the coin bared open to see



Life's not all hugs and kisses

Look to reality and hear what it says



Whispered hopes drop quietly

And seek safe havens, wherever they may be

DISCLIAMER: I wrote this when I was in a very dark place. I don't like to go there often.

Dangerous Flirtations

Unfulfilled, underfed
By life, by your love,
Am I better off dead?
Fly away little dove.

I am a mess you see.
My life is chaos.
Could I just cease to be?
I feel there is just cause.

The ground it slips away.
And I just don't care.
Will I rejoice the day
When I die in my lair?

I make the days go by.
Dates, I rarely keep.
I do things on the sly,
Like drink myself to sleep.



I'd like to lock the door
On these dark secrets.
To be happy once more,
And to not have regrets...

New Approaches

I always write on paper.
Then transcribe it to the webpage.
Something kinda old school
In this new age.
Today I'll try something new.
I'll cut out the middle man.
Communicate more directly
The best way that I can.

DEATH BY CUTENESS!!!!!!!

Sometimes we all need to be reminded of the simple pleasures and joys in life.
