Bad day
I was let go today
Not fired exactly
Because no one is to fault
Enrollment issues the cause
At a dance studio i have been working
And it all crashed down
Slowly I was starting to heal
From my trauma surrounding dance
But now that opportunity is gone
Finally I was making some money
So i could do things with my friends
Get the things I wanted
It may not have been much
But it was real and it was mine
And it was a job
Now its gone
Slipped through my fingers
And I am frustrated
Not at a person
Just at how it played out
One thing good and then everything bad
I should be able to pick up babysitting
Or at a least a little bit
But for now I am stuck wallowing in self pity
Sad about unemployment
And writing poetry
Over something but most will find boring
