The job's rotten, still.
So many days past writing on pages like these.
Hoping for the best,
full of angst towards schooling and lowly positions.
Now school's over, and I left old jobs,
but the lowliness takes new form.

I left so many of yous there,
but don't look at me all forlorn.
I finished my share of the toil toll;
I went to school, I went into debt,
without even buying a home,
and most important of all,
I only climbed a rung.

I wish I could walk into that retail barn with unfake flair.
Show everyone I'm doing something I loved
and always talked about;
museum work, teaching, or traveling.
Even those "choices" are too general.
Getting over 12 bucks an hour's half the battle.
I'm only almost there, again.

I took my skin off
Looking into your eyes
Shredding my ego to core
Putting my armour aside
Walking naked towards you
With my vulnerabilities laid beside
To embrace immaculate sunshine
Of faith, hope and love
Aligning to form life
What i thought was just a lapse of time
Until the emotions ignite
Causing a swirl of time
Landed me on this site
Face to face in plain sight
With the driver of this life
Looking into my eyes
Calling me inside
I took my skin off
And walk naked
To embrace whats mine

— The End —
