But you put on quite a show
You really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtain’s finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now (But it’s over now)
Go on and take a bow*
How many times in our lives do we get ripped off? Whether it is by a friend, a relative or someone we don’t even really know. Why don’t we stand up for ourselves? Or do we just never see it coming.
Fake compliments, fake smiles, telling someone they have a shot at something they don’t. All rolls into the same ball.
Lately; it is job interviews. Getting an interview feels like such an achievement after all the return emails with “sorry you don’t have the experience, looks, talent, etc etc etc”. Only to dress up, slap some paint on and head down with your battle face all ready..only to be rejected yet again…
What is the point of 5+ years of uni if we will just end up in the same place we were at the start? Why not just do something we truly enjoy and live life off the cuff…because we want something bigger…something better.
I want to be a lawyer..but before that I want to be SOMETHING..anything other than a cleaner, a barista, a telemarketer or a sales girl..I want something where I do something useful…where I can gain new skills that as a lawyer or business person I might one day use..
So after every rejection I wipe the makeup off, put the heels back on the shelf and hang up the suit and go off to work to harass people to buy things they really don’t want – with the dream that one day I will be serving the Queen’s justice..
