Days go by I'm still alone unemployed and scared to bone. What am I going to do now? Who am I today exactly? Monday...days go by, with a matter-of-factly attitude that I don't care for and I lost Friday there when I opened another bottle and sat to stare out a window on blowing sea oats, out of place like me, days go by, who am I to be? Still alone and unemployed what or who can fill this void? I'm not who I used to be... I wait for a call for an interview, still alone, days go by, and I'm still missing you. |

I know this feeling and I feel for you. A great read. Andrew "Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards." - R.A. Heinlein. |

fine emotive 'reality/truth' write! [As one battling 'age discrimination'; etc. big time...I can especially 'relate' to this!] I often tend to 'hide' in poetry from the 'way of the world'...I'm glad someone has the courage to write about 'reality' so directly and effectively! |

Haven't been alone for a really long time, my friend (30 some years), though I remember those days very well. Went without a job for a year or so a few years back - I remember that REALLY well. None of it's fun. Not a bit of it is wished for or wanted. I do remember the feeling . . . and the feelings. My heart, my friend...my heart to you. jimmy ...and I ALWAYS look forward to reading you. |

I understand this so very well... for even having a job doesn't give structure to a life when your last two lines define it... Big hugs, my friend... Some times just sap our strength... but you are strong... so strong. Remember that. *S* Excellent write! |

your words are always so real, and I can't help but feel sometimes I am looking into a mirror... |
