Is it really?

poem by: Ann Parks
Written on Oct 20, 2014 

Is it really two years
since I last went to work
and held back my tongue 
and took the abuse
and hoped it would work out
but this never happened :
Is it really two years
since I last had a job?

Is it really two years
since you last washed up for me
since I last heard your footsteps
and saw into your heart
my sweet sofa surfer
too raw for this salt world
you knew you were dying
hey! haunt me sometime.

Is it really two days
since that scary encounter
the interview success
which changes my life.
I knew you were kindly 
and saw my persona
at last someone willing
to give me a chance!
