this is where i may be working
in less than a year
_________________________________________________
the 'who knows what will happen'
phrase has appeared in many instances lately
it's unreal that there are only two weeks left
i seem to think i have a plan in my head
of how things will work out
seems alright for now
i can still hold down the fort
better now from all the sick
definitely did get plenty of rest
after all
that's what getting sick is about
_________________________________________________
the topic on my mind is this
growing up
places i've been
things i've done
i've had my family
i've had great friends
i've always had somebody to rely on
in the family
being the youngest
definitely has the notion of being protected
i've always been protected
haha...
today i got
'he's really growing up...awww...'
haha...
hai...
growing up.
it's like
a tug-of-war
one side pulling
the other pulling back
i want to know that i can handle
yet i need to know
that if i fall
i'll be caught
part of me needs to prove it
because i know
what i'm capable of
my thoughts have been here
for more than two years
words strung together
in my mind they make sense.

in two weeks
i'll be leaving halifax
who would reject
the best of both worlds
for me
it's been jumping back and forth
between two worlds
get used to one
go back to the next
i've grown accustom
to a life here in halifax
i've been really fortunate
it's been a smooth ride
thanks to many
and thanks to the one above
always looking out for me
you know...
i will go home
knowing i will wonder
what goes on here
i've thoroughly enjoyed
three terms of school
only that the end of the third
which is now
seems to drag on forever
_________________________________________________
for my upcoming work terms
i first asked to get into one firm
i got in
i felt i was selling myself short
knowing possibly i could be trapped
doing work i know is mundane
and that i've complained about many times before
other aspects would make me want to be in toronto
very comfortable
i then asked for something more interesting
avant garde
i got in
no pay
do i want to work for picasso
for free
do i want to work for my neighbourhood painter
for money
haha...maybe neighbourhood painter is a bit harsh
but this is a neighbourhood painter
going international
the paintings are not as special
but this painter is prolific
