The Fragmented Professional
I do not know where to start
How my world fell apart
Mimicking a dependent broken heart
Smashed all-in pieces
Everything ceases
Time to phone
Home
Admit, ‘I am alone’
A chapel bathes in sunlight
Making the future bright
Back to school I went
Where four years I spent
Getting fed
Knowledge planted straight to my head
Not remembering anything the professor said
Reflecting upon the campus mall
Quietly embracing spiritual magic, that is all
Proper decision made the call
Getting into a debatable mind-bending brawl
Dismantling my internal adversity wall
Shedding recent tears
Remembering it was here
Received much cheer
Credit achievements earned
Needing updated lessons to learn
Professional experience standing firm
Going from one term
To another
Many classes covered
Maturing more
Browsing the academic store
Opening a personal door
Benefitting just me
Document office hanging for many to see
Unlocking the respect key
Allowing it to reveal
Combatting treacherous honest deals
Innocent trusting community asking, ‘is it real?’
Time to make a move
And prove
Projecting a skillful tone
Lacking stereotypical moan
Since it was classroom trained and honed
Playing a game
Strengthening my claim
Did I win?
Was there a sin?
I do not know
But I can go
Without a scare
To a campus chapel right there
Telling me I am living a life that is fair
Emotional jigsaw puzzle put together
Ready for sunshine weather
Feeling better
After getting my supportive grade letter
