Finding your foot in life: Into a new job

When we all young, we admire how our parents wake up go to work and come back. As kids, this felt like the exact opposite of what our routine looked like. I guess it's because most parents or any adult finds a way to cope with it all that's why kids don't really see it.

Now all grown up and into the job hunting space, you see how hectic it can be to land one, and when you do, as any new person in the organization, you seem unsure of yourself. But with time you also get through and find your own way. I wrote a poem to explain that feeling in a new job.

Hold on to me cause I'm a little unsteady

Cause I was in a hurry to stand, but I wasn't ready

I guess i could no longer bare sitting anymore

I wanted to go out on my own and feel some more


I'm a little bit shaky but I'll keep walking

Hoping that with each step they become firmer

For it's all I can do now, and that's to keep going

Cause I need to do it on my own, to avoid any murmur


Cause by now people have already started talking

Of how I'm struggling to my find my foot

And I can't make them stop talking

All I can is keep going and they'll stop the bloat


Hold on to me cause I'm a little unsteady

My frame has been rocked with storms, I'm not ready

For every turbulence but I'm not ready to give up

That's why I'm giving it my all knowing I'll rise up

The PO£T

Sometimes you feel it came to us and the game was rigged 😂. But probably it was the same dynamics, we only didn't see them or be told about.
