The Interview

Gaze upon your twists and turns.

Things you once thought would last,

Like scars from cuts or scolds or burns.

 

The yearning heart for loves now lost,

A sad memory born of words that hurt.

All gone now, though some at such a cost,

Here you now stand, strong tall and alert.

 

Your holding your own and ready for anything,

Ready to knuckle down and brave the future.

With an open mind you search for everything,

To guide your children with an aim to nurture.

 

Yet in these times of uncertainty,

You need to assert yourself.

Make a name for yourself certainly,

Without being afraid to fail or be left on a shelf.

 

You don't need to be the best,

Just the best that you can be.

Somebody, who'll never rest,

 

No fear of others digging at your dirt.

 

 

 

Even with fear growing and your head thumping.

 

With your skin clammy, and your mouth dry,

You hold back thoughts of guilty sins.

Then move forward to take a seat,

The interview..... begins!
