"Unfortunately we have decided to not move forward with your application"
no amount of work or dedication
has proven enough to show my potential
changing careers has proved consequential
we leave high school as children, expected to know
what’s the path, where to go
“What are your weaknesses? What are your strengths?"
being scrutizined and put into ranks
not for who I am or what I can become
but from what a piece of paper shows to some
of my worth, of my performance
for a bunch of big bosses that won’t give me a chance
I’m applying to jobs, but am I applying myself
during this time these books are collecting dust on the shelf
it’s time to move, it’s time to get better
until I accept that offer, that letter
