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!!
