Resume Poem by Susan Lacovara

Resume

Rating: 4.9


Asked to list my finer points
To scroll out what makes me suitable
For the purpose of being examined by strangers
Who then decide if I am their proper fit
Becomes more a task than a turning point

Might they care that I care
For any and all creatures abandoned and lost
Sympathetic
Empathetic
Introspective
Dedicated to my own integrity
With a formulated flexibility
To being accepting of all those
Who are different from me

Would they care to have me spell out
The life lessons that have carried me
This far
Furthering my education on a daily basis
Of acknowledging I have further to go
And going the extra mile
To ensure I do so with a true smile
That is offered freely and without need
For costly reimbursement

Shall I post the positions I have taken
Against hate and harmful ridicule
And announce my degree of kindheartedness
In the face of extreme manipulation
Of those who seek only to press their agendas
Without concern for the real righteousness
Of making a necessary difference

Do I need open the files and folders
Of my many years of opening myself
To new ideas and fresh outlooks
In hopes they will look beyond their own prejudices
Allowing for me to be a team player
An asset
Being afforded a chance to prove
That beneath the packaging lies great substance
