Poem: Unemployed
About Unemployment
Unemployment is a period when you have no job and it is probably one of the best times to express yourself through a poem. At this time, you might probably feel a little depressed seeing that no employer has called you for any interviews.
Unemployed
I toss and turn the pages
Away
My mind jumps up and down
Astray
Every day I count my blessings
Accumulated to make my pay
Poem Meaning
I toss and turn the pages
Away
This represents my job search online.
My mind jumps up and down
Astray
This means I may not fit for some jobs but I apply anyway. I feel like I am lacking direction.
Every day I count my blessings
Accumulated to make my pay
We know that to count your blessings means to be grateful for what you have but in my poem, I mean counting my blessings literally and imagining them as my salary.
