PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Circling round
circling down
spirals never ending.

Can I get out
of this ongoing cycle
so tired of spinning

Round, round and round again
I keep circling in my despair

Round and round
down and down
problems that never cease

Try, try, try again
exhausting
demoralizing

Worries
failed attempts
added bills around the corner

Education was supposed to help
not hinder
not hurt
not frighten off prospective employers

Smile, pretend you don't care
homelessness one step closer
spiraling down the drain
a life once worthwhile
now a constant failure

I'm so tired of chasing my tail
are these people so blind
to prefer to hire the illiterate?

So those of us educated
with oodles of skill
deserve homelessness and disdain

I'll try again tomorrow.
