Unemployed State of Mind

Unemployed State of Mind

A Poem by janemaria
"

Description of joblessness and job hunting

"
I wrote my resume, yet again,
In Calligraphies, unknown to Word,
Cover Letters, Edited for an -th time,
Yet, trashed into the Can, once again.

My Lord! Tell me how I erred.
Was it wrong to plough hard in law school,
The fruits to turn so sore and sour
Dreams to clash, lash and squash.

I was a pride at home, Last day, 
Today, a shame, no one spoke about,
Of course not, I wasn't ostracised here, 
Just Forbidden from a public appearance.

Was it wrong to not like the corporate?
Was it wrong to choose litigation for poor?
As I emerged a lawyer, I'm afraid -
Nepotism had beaten down my dreams, bad.

My mom said, "10k job?"  "What is it worth for?" 
My mom say - "atleast 10k. worth for." 
Contradictions. Confusions. Hold me down.
Swaying me round. Drowning me. Sick.

Another resume, today. Mechanically -
produced perfection. Sigh. Coffee?
Another Cover Letter. Stomach twitched.
Lied down for a moment - some perks of unemployment.
