I've been trying for about a month now <br />No one seems to want me somehow <br />Thirteen years of school for nothing? <br />I'd rather have a job or something <br /> <br />I am becoming dispaired, upset, dis-repaired <br />Nobody wants to bring me in to a breathe of fresh air <br />I have applied at what seems like a thousand locations <br />They all tell me they've got nothing, to go on vacation <br /> <br />I need to be hired to make some cash flow <br />It would be nice to have a job so my pockets could grow <br />I'm starting to feel a little bit down <br />Staring at my shoes and looking for a sound <br /> <br />I find no positive answers, no one hires me <br />I have a high school diploma, was that a waste of a tree? <br />I have plenty of spare time to write my poetry <br />And let other people know about my life, they know it's me <br /> <br />I'm eager to start, I am eager to work, but I have encountered nothing but jerks.<br /><br />Jesse Tampa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-need-a-job/
