Applied for a job
It had been a while
About 12 years to be exact
Not since the last “9-5”
The one left behind
In order to start a business
Fought applying for a while
Saw it as failure
As giving up on the dream
A false thought
Dreams change
Rearrange
And as successful as it’s been
There have been moments
Where it led to depression
When not enough money
Was coming in
And borrowing began
Not from banks
But from friends and family
Putting a strain on them too
Paying them back
As soon as possible
While the business isn’t going away
And still profitable
It’s time to have steady income
Benefits
Peace of mind
Of knowing
Money will come regularly
Applying for the job
Is not giving up on the dream
Just a quicker way
To fulfill it
