The interview

winona44

Words are constricting and my perspective is getting interrogated by a black blazer and a copious amount of saliva.

Did I buy a ticket to the blues?

The interview of a lifetime.

I walk in circles as if I am walking towards the sun.

While I reconsider my options, I rush to run the tap.

The phone rings louder the further I convince myself that I'm escaping.

I soak in warm lavender water until It starts sliding through my pores.

The longer I stay the drier I feel.

Invincible.

A mermaid in the deepest shade of blue.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I had an interview today. The nerves got hold of me. Discouraged about the opinion that people establish about you after only 10 minutes. They have no clue. Of the many layers that we you have. A lot deeper in meaning than just an interview gone wrong. The difficulties that creative people face in a corporate word.

    There is symbolism in the color blue here and it extends to the mood. To bath and clean oneself from feelings one no longer wants to hold onto. Very nicely written
