In transit

Finished reading <Slammed> over the weekend! It's about slam poetry. It's so good and I'm so inspired.

Here's my attempt, not good at all but I want to post it anyway.


In Transit


I've just graduated this year
Ending 16 years of formal education 
After all the assignments and exams and emulation
I was made to believe I could pursue whatever I want

I've just graduated this year
Before confronting the real shit
I went on a multiple trips 
To widen my horizons and have fun 

I've just graduated this year
After all the applying and interviewing
and the rejections and disappointments
I settled as time ticked away

I've just started work this year
I doubt myself everyday
about why I'm not good enough
To go after the things I want

I've just started work this year
I want to make a difference
I want to think and push my boundaries
I want to do what I like, is it so hard?

I've just started work this year
I should be enthusiastic and excited
Instead I feel jaded
Cause I can't land a job I like

I doubt myself and my abilities everyday
Is this what I'm meant to do, for the rest of my life?
Should I settle or continue pursuing is a question I keep asking
I can't make up my mind

Advice please?
