I walk down the hall
sit in the chair
switch on the computer and the internet connection
I open my emails
three from friends
two of them junkmail, one from...
woolworths
that's safeway
that's where I applied.
stupid fat lady interviewed me
I even dressed nice
three different interview stages
and now this email
it says
thankyou for your time
in this instance you were unsuccessful
(unsuccessful!)
I even took out my piercings
avoided dressing how I usually do
the letters of the word
recruitment
are forming on the keyboard
right in front of my eyes
screen I am looking at
the shape of the email
the wording used
the thankyous and sorrys
this screen is mocking me
smirking
you weren't good enough for the job
a
little
part
time
job
and you couldn't even get it
you suck
"hey brilliant poem! and i love your gay pride one! your peotry is so honest and comfortable.
i tried to kill myself twice, and one of my close friends did also, but after she did, it struck at me so hard how much it owuld have hurt if it had worked for her.
if it all overcomes you anytime you can write me an email or just call up a friend, jsut keep pushing on through, this world shouldnt lose a brilliant poet/person such as you!
luv nanz xoxox "
this one really made my day!!! :)
I got rejected from safeway too, I think there are better places to work anyway.
i mean if they rejected you they suck!!!!
lovely poem hope you got your feelings out.
love sammi
