50,000 dollars plus
and two years of solitude
have left me in debt
in despair
in distrust
All these words
and knowledge of institutions
have no merit,
nor my determination
Half a decade I thought
I would be independent
a professional, utmost excellence
Now I wake up
in my parents’ house again
reliving my bachelor’s
As an ineligible bachelor
with a master’s
Who wants to let me in?
I knock on doors
and they don’t want me
I knock and doors
and they don’t respond
I knock on doors
I knock on doors
I knock on doors
