Scarred

Scarred

Around and around I go
In this hollow vacuum
Never ending rejection
Pangs of distress constricts

No jobs available no matter endeavors
Is it they or I I hate my very being
Eyes of despise follows
Upon the years graduating high school

Exiled to a land of repulse
A terrain of no chances
Regardless of race
Or the efforts

None willing to help
This one having it hard
A lifetime of scars
Inadequate reality slighting persist

All alone awaiting demise
End it all death thus flee
Left to suffer
Life of torment constant rejection

thanks, for reading this economy makes it impossible for some to get jobs. especially upon high school graduates. thirty years ago or one year ago the despairs are the same. ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara

Re

not having work experience makes one feel inadequate. being slighted or overlooked makes one feel inadequate. now that's a dark road that seems to never end when faced with years of unemployment and rejection. recession or no recession some people struggle regardless. thanks for reading and commenting ~~~~~~~~~ Be whoever you are At all times, and Remember that Because of this, people will Always Respect, and Admire you ©2008Leonard Respectfully Yours, Barbara
