Cafe Musings
Wind blows past in my face,
A chicken wrap half eaten as sadness takes place,
Sucess, what is that fickle concept,
Another interview finished and yet probably I haven't done my best.
A prose piece, a poem
Do I dare to dream?
With my cappuccino, I lick the cream.
More rejections I fear,
And perhaps the only reason I write this is to keep my mind clear.
I tried to look good but perhaps it was for no-one.
I know I have to keep at trying to find work,
To pay my mortgage, for my daughter and yet I wonder what it's all worth?
A cafe lunch a preemptive guess,
For success?
Autumnal wind blows cold
About this poem
This was written after I had an interview and was underconfident about the result of it. I, also happened to be having a bit to eat at a cafe post interview. This is my first time writing a poem on this site and so the underconfident feeling continues.
