Have a seat
Make yourself at home
Would it be OK if I ask you a thousand questions about
:Who you are
:Who you have been
:Who you hope to become
Tell me about a time that you met a stranger and let them inside
Tell me about a time you froze over with fear and somehow found the strength to keep pressing forward
Tell me about a time that hurt
Made you feel so torn down that air seemed worthless
Is this really the job you want
Revisiting old wounds like a murderer’s playpen
Can you invest in potential one last time
Do you have the resolve to see what’s in front of you
Clearly
Without the haze of the past or the threat of what-if
The pay won’t be great.
It’ll be rough times with no acknowledgment
Arguments with no resolution
Guaranteed overtime at half the pay
It’s long hours and continuous demands
But in those moments
Those moment when you’re fed up and weary and tired and stressed
There’ll be a glimmer of hope in the form of “thank you,”
“I love you, ”
“I’m sorry,”
“You’re beautiful, ”
It’ll be up to you to decide
In those moments
If tomorrow is worth it
If clocking in one more time, every time makes sense
It’s up to you to re-engage
To recommit
To make the choice for ever
