Doing my usual scanning through websites for writing tips and content I happened to come across an site that has a cute little humourous cartoon chicken. I have subscribed to this newsletter since they were offering an ebook "83 ways to make money writing". Of course I am interested! I have always loved to write and because of that I have maintained a daily ritual. There comes a time in your life though where you really would like to see your work produce some dollars, and why not? You earned it. You should check out the site http://www.writingfordollars.com

Here is a poem I wrote when I finished school and realized finding work was not going to be as easy as I thought.

I come from

I come from a middle-class family of six.
With even a half sister thrown in the mix.
My life was secure with a mother at home.
But I left with my heart longing to roam.

I was seventeen and out on my own.
But I soon found out I was very alone.
I tried to get welfare but wasn’t of age.
I found myself trapped in a political cage.

I looked for a job, but all I could find
Was a coffee shop where poor people dined.
The hours were long, the pay was too small
My feet hurt so much, I thought I would fall.

I’d quit highschool, so I could run and play
How could I know I’d regret it one day?
Only a low income wage could I make
With my legs and back always to ache.

So I went back to school, now I’m in debt.
I feel like a fish that’s caught in a net.
For no matter how hard I look and try
I won’t land a good job unless I lie.

If companies want some experience
I don’t understand how that makes sense.
How can you gain without even the chance
You must learn to walk before you can dance.

So I beg the government if you will
You can’t just offer us people a skill
We need a job to gain the experience
Or else we’ll end up on social assistance.
