Into 2023 1-7

I get my first job
A temporary internship
But at the end
They don't hire anybody

I move back home
To be near my friends
But then, they all move away

I get my second job
It is temporary to permanent
I look for other jobs 
But can’t find any

The boy and I talk about living together 
But I can't find a job where he lives
And he doesn’t want to move

My second job ends
With unfulfilled promises
Of being made full time

I look for jobs
First what I want
Then what meets my standards
Then below

I get a job stocking
Is this all I am really worth
Even a degree is worthless
I've got to pay it back
