Job Loss

I sit here wondering what the future will bring
As tears fill my eyes and roll slowly down my cheeks
The days count down and the end grows closer
I find it harder and harder to control my emotions
And dread the day that I must walk out of a place for good
That was my second home for so many years
This is how I’m feeling today.
Other days it’s not so bad.
It harder when some one approaches me and asks, 'So what are your plans?'
I wish I knew,
Really I do!
They want me to go to work like there’s nothing wrong
And move on with my life
Like this was just another day and it’s not.
These people who say they Understand how I feel, have no idea.
How could they?
They still have their jobs.
Maybe my family and friends are right!
Maybe this was a blessing in disguise for all of us.
Some of us are now forced to look outside of the box
And go after things we’ve always wanted to do.
But because we were working we were held back.
Still this will be hard for a little while.
Maybe a year from now I will look back on this as a learning experience
But for now for me its like a death.
