Getting Into Alignment
You’ve had enough,
had enough of
almost
but not quite
jobs that just might
be right
despite this desire
to create.
So you wait,
give it a few months
as you try to swallow
the dissatisfaction and
the fact that this job
is a joke
you just don’t
find funny anymore.
The boredom
of working outside of your passions
is soul destroying
and quite frankly annoying
to that one rebellious side of you
asking you
isn’t life supposed to be more beautiful that this?
Don’t dismiss this voice
that demands a choice of you:
stay here,
or explore the true
You who is bursting with creativity
and possibly at the cusp of something great.
So don’t wait
when you know your destiny
isn’t behind a desk
working on someone else’s dream
and by this I mean
it’s time to start building yours.
- poetry by Ruth Elora: The Mayfair poet
