Waiting is a horrible thing
What is this news gonna bring?
Is it positive? is it a yes?
Did I do what was asked of the test?
Is it negative? is it a no?
Do I drown myself into my sorrow?
This is killing me, hours and days
Walking around in my own haze
Checking my phone for a buzz or a ring
“When you going to ring you poxy thing!”
I can’t stand it, it’s getting too much
How can one response cause such a fuss
The phone rings, lights up at last
I was quick, super quick, lightning fast
I wait anxiously, saying hello
Is it good news, or just another blow?
Hello, I have spoken to them, this is the news
Thank you, I hold my breath, win or lose?

Course I did, I stayed positive, took the punches and moved on. In France I applied for 400 jobs, 4 interviews and eventually got a job. 5 years later I am where I am, doing ok. But I remember how hard and a testing period it was.
