Unemployed

I'm finding it hard to stay positive, 
and dwell only on things that are good; 
I've sent my resume out multiple times, 
I've done everything that I should. 

Even so I still don't have a job, 
my self esteems at an all time low; 
I don't know how much more I can take, 
or where from here I should go. 

I have been able to make a few bucks, 
a mechanic I am by trade; 
Somehow the mortgage and all my bills, 
they seem always able to be paid. 

I hope soon I will get a call, 
and told I am up for hire; 
My stress is almost more then I can take, 
my straights are turning dire.
