PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It seems like I lost another one.
A chance to further myself in life.

A step in the right direction,
a promotion.

It was my fault, sure.
But that was 4 years ago.

It feel like it will always be there,
my decision to do something stupid.

But how long must I continue
live with this over my shoulder.

It prevents me from moving
into certain job fields.

Leaving me feeling like
I can't do any better.

That I should stay in this mediocrity
and accept it.

But I don't want to.
I'm tired of it.

How long must I endure this burden
that keeps me from moving forward.

Maybe one day it will be overlooked,
maybe I will get a second chance.
