Njeri Hunjeri Poet Prose Poetry

Thank You God For Not Getting That Job

First of all whenever I have to give my personal information, I always feel violated 
This is one time I cannot save my little privacy 
Since I have to be honest
Since I have to show openness
Since I can't be rude

I have to show that I love being around people 
Team work, group power, crowd cheerleader et all
Yet most of the time I just want to be alone, writing 
Don't get me wrong because I love other people's company 
I love the threads, the ties and the ligaments of human...ity
I also love the inspirations others give me

After the interview I felt so horrible 
I called one of my friends and cried my brains out
But she was busy so she couldn't talk much
I begged her to call me back because I was so stressed
Then I went to another friend's house
And there I cried about all my fears and worries 
She listened and comforted me
She herself can't even a job, yet she gave me a shoulder to lean on

Thank You God that I didn't get that job
Because:
I appreciate my friends even more
My trust has grown stronger
I met a new friend as I was leaving this other friend's house 
I now have new play pal, more play dates
I conquered the strong urge to drink because at that time all I wanted was alcohol to put me to sleep, until tomorrow 
I also resisted the urge to eat junk 
   I don't want to say that I don't have weight issues
But I have some work to do, I the stress eater
And most of all, I thank You as was able to go outside, breathed the fresh air, enjoyed the cool weather and played a little bit

          And I wrote these words
          My healing therapy 
          I know if it's not today, my dream is still valid
          There's always tomorrow
