"Failing"
by JoshuaHarestad
I was having a good day.
Then my boss got on my case.
It reminded me so much,
of why I can’t stand my job.
There’s hours of ceaseless boredom,
then writing people tickets,
and I hate both parts of it.
I want to find a way out.
Some hopes maybe, in good time.
But before they’ve been a lie.
So I don’t dare to hope now,
and it makes me want to cry.
I have to keep going on.
Other people who need me,
but how when I am so tired.
Don’t want to be the bad guy,
yet I have to pay the bills.
So here I am, helpless, trapped,
tearing myself to pieces.
Ashamed of how I’m failing.
Ashamed of how I have failed.
I don’t think I will get out,
and that is the hardest part.

Hey man, thats rough. what i can say about this is if you dont like your present situation you need to change it, start looking for other jobs and line something up.Then put in your two weeks. I mean hell man, i feel you, ive been at a dead end job for a good minute now. and I am going to return to school to do something about it, not because i have to, but because i want to. Keeping that in mind im willing to sacrifice and compromise with myself things that i wouldn’t have considered in the past/present because i had given up on going back to school and other things, but im just using myself as an example of myself, b eing unhappy in my present situation and how im doing something about it to change it. thats all. just some friendly advice.
Thank you sincerely for both the advice and the feedback. I still need to read some of your pieces. Sorry, I will try and get to that. So much I’m trying to get out, I’m bad about reading other stuff, but I promise I will soon! 🙂
i would appreciate it
and please give feed back!
I understand your dilemma. There’s no fun in feeling drained from a sad job.
Though, you always have a chance to change your circumstances. Speak to a dreamer who has accomplished their dreams. Reach out and hear their stories. Understand their determination.
Keep sending out your poetry. Publish a book! We’re all here to support!
Take care,
Michelle
Thank you for your feedback Michelle. I really appreciate it. I am hoping once I have enough works that maybe I can do a book of some sort. That would be awesome! 🙂
