The Career War

Tue, 05/09/2017 - 23:46 -- Rivea11

Well for me, life hasn’t been so great

And it won’t get better

The bloody wars may be over

But the fighting hasn’t stopped

 

Everyday I will fight to keep my career

I want to be a costume designer

A writer

A restaurant owner

A homeless advocate

 

But now?

With every job you must fight

You must give 200

You must bleed,

Sweat

And cry to survive

Because that is what we have to do

 

The world is dangerous

It’s a war

If you don’t fight?

You die.
