Need.

I need a job.

To start living, start earning some money, am begging.

Begging you like Madcon

The cv handout goes on, and on.

Like a record that's skipped,

beginning to feel like I've been tricked.

 

It's not like I wouldn't work hard

I'm willing to work hard for my pay,

willing to work everyday,

willing to earn my way.

I ain't fed on greed,

I only need what I need,

only one mouth to feed.

I'll even work on my knees

scrub till my fingers bleed

 

I'm like a seed sprouting, roots up routing,  with stem as long as my sadness has resided.

Pent up emotion continuing to grow.

As the roots begin to take hold below.

 

Take hold of my tongue and its words, my heart and its love, and my lungs and its breath.

Got Nothing left; to push through to the surface beginning to feel its all worthless

What's the point here?!

I'm stumped.

 

"I JUST NEED A JOB YOU... Chumps"

 

Feel like I should take a jump.

Not a jump of suicidal intention, just a jump for attention

Attention for a life to begin.

 

For a business to take me in

give me the experience I lack.

In return I'll give back: hardwork, effort and sweat.

Which will help me to show that I'm able to grow.

And I deserve to leap out

from this pit,

trudging in ****

From the depths of this dirt and weeds

where it all began as a seed.

 

A seed, a thought, a prognosis.

So now it's my time to show this;

Show what I've got on the surface.

Show that I am not worthless.

Show from a seed I have grown.

Show that I deserve a home.

A place to call my own.

Then once I am there I will know...

 

How?

 

I'll have blossomed

Wrote this just over a year ago after making a big step in my life and began to feel like things just weren't going my way. (it did all come together in the end)
