Life's Work


Before you say go out and find a job
Let me explain to those judging me about my situation
I have submitted over fifty resumes and applications
Only to get false hope about the chance of working
I am not only competing with teens my age but
Adults who have been laid off by the economies position
Adults who have had retail experience and job experience
And let me explain something about experience.
Experience and work are both double edged swords
See
How am I supposed to find a job?
If I don’t have any experience
That is required to find a job
That won’t hire me because I do not have any damn experience.
You see
I’m stuck in this unending circle of nightmares
Where experience is more valuable than
The paycheck in the end of the month
The pay check that you break your back over
Only to find that you come short of paying the rent by a few dollars
That was taken away in taxes.
