Just wrote something the express my anxiety, anger, and sadness of working to provide for my family. And waiting for an offer for a better job.

I check you in the hopes of a reprieve

From an ultimatum that was never received

For the chance of a change in future

So that I may become a more reliable consumer

The anxiety failed to be relieved with an offer

“we offer you the job”, now I can fill that 1% coffer

All I wish is to see their smile and hear their laugh

But to feed them, they have to ask – where is father

I simply want to be

But nothing is free

• All I wish is to see their smile and hear their laugh
