Rejection after rejection, my job hunt is a bust

But I need to find something. I have to succeed. I must

I have all the tools I need in addition to being a go-getter

The only silver lining is that after all of these interviews, I only get better...

Once the flowers bloom, we’ll be doomed

By all of the fear, that has consumed

The entirety of people, from land to sea

Affecting all of us, each individually...

Your eyes, like oozing sores, do shine with grace,

Their dripping light does spark my eager heart.

Your breath, a stale wind, warms my soul’s embrace,

Its sour kiss vows we’ll never drift apart....

Words are wasted on those who do not listen

Those who are dull and those who never glisten

Words are power, so they are to be used wisely

So I addressed it in this poem, using my words nicely...

Lips graze skin, a teasing, hungry plea

Breath quickens, hearts race, no need to balk.

In tangled sheets, we find our decree

Desire’s raw truth, where bodies stalk....

Beneath the manicure, bite marks adorn each nail

Cuticles are perfect, but bleeding when doors close

Hands well moisturized, calluses hidden with great detail

What is visible to all, is the opposite of what we hide most...

The odds are against me. Should I shoot my shot?

I have nothing to lose. Luck is all I’ve got.

My mind is spinning. Like eggs turning into a scramble

But I have to shoot my shot. Fuck, do I love to gamble....

When the storm comes, my compass always points to you

No matter the wind and weather, it always holds true

I’d die in battle for you, even stage a coup

It’s something I always, always, promise to do...

I creak as foot after foot steps on me

It doesn’t hurt, but I am not at all happy

A loose board I’ve become, through years of hard use

I really wish someone would fix me…that is the truth...

You’ll never guess what my patient told me today

I laughed, drunkenly, spilling my beer

All of my friends sitting at the table, stopped

And all turned to hear

With all eyes on me, reality struck

But I had to say something, otherwise I’m fucked

My confidence blossomed and I said it out loud

But judging by their reactions, I was not proud

A room of scorn, brows furrowed with judgment

It got even w...
