An alumna now
Brighton months behind me
Creativity continues to be a question mark
Does it matter?
Elsewhere I have offers on writing courses
Fed up with the idea of precarious work though
Gotta be realistic…
Health is taking a bashing
Is it time to retrain or
Just work my way up the career ladder?
Kidding myself with doctoral ideas

Library work holds my heart
Maybe if I could not be
Nervous in the interviews
Or get hung up on thoughts of
Professional
Qualifications I could
Relax enough to find
Solutions to this constant see-saw
Typing my latest application to
Ulster University
Viewing my life in terms of years
Where I might sometime find my purpose
X marks the spot

Yearning for the end goal
