Through trials of twenty twenty-three,
Hopes bloomed for change, a chance set free.
Graduation came, a hollow prize,
As job searches met disdainful eyes.
Six months of interviews, a weary quest,
Resumes lost, locations put to test.
Dreams unraveled, tangled threads of strife,
Financial burdens weighing down on life.
A borrowed phone, a fragile shard,
Studied on, a loan's heavy card.
Then came the day, the interview's call,
But fate's cruel hand caused shadows to fall.
A jostling bus, a pocket bare,
The precious screen, no longer there.
Panic arose, a strangled cry,
Sounds amplified, world passing by.
Police indifferent, cold as stone,
Hopes dashed away, left all alone.
Tears they flowed, a bitter stream,
Years of silence shattered in a scream.
The little steps, a mockery now,
Cursed, it seems, with fortune's frown.
No solace found, no brighter day,
Just suffering, till life fades away.
Description - This was one of my worst day after I lost my phone, this led me think the difficulties I have been facing since last year. I thought to write a poem with the help of internet and friend.
