I wake to face another day
With one thought on my mind
I have to get a job
Discover the employer that will show me the light
But that's akin to looking for a needle in a haystack
And that's no lie
Constantly battling nagging doubts
I have to try
Spending many fruitless hours searching job websites
Fills me with a despair I can't describe
They all try and reassure me
"You'll find something that feels right"
But so far I've had nothing
Not even the faintest sign
To keep my hopes alive
I glance at my watch
As it ticks away time
And reply:
"Until I make that crucial find, being unemployed is a demon from which I can't hide"
It's been the same for so long
That it seems each day is now blurred into one
I look up to a blackened sky
Purged of daylight
As I stand in the middle of what feels like a never ending storm
It's then that I realise
That there's still many more dark hours
Before the dawn
