Dear universe, please listen
Today, he sat beside me — silent, heavy-hearted His words were tired echo of yet another interview that didn’t end in hope Four months have pass since he left his last job Four months of showing up answering questions and waiting for a yes that never came And yet, he keeps tryin Despite the weight of rejection Despite the fear in his voice when he speaks in front of strangers Despite the anxiety I know he tries so hard to hide He reminds me of myself quiet, uncertain but trying, always trying Dear Universe please don’t let this break him Don’t let failure dim the light he still carries Don’t let silence become his only comfort Give him one chance — just on Let this time be the beginning of something soft and steady Let him prove that he is not a mistake He’s not asking for much Only a space where his efforts are seen Only a moment where the world whispers back .
