Improve


One job changes people 

But yet it also gives chances.

The chance to let the shy girl spread her wings

To achieve the dream she clings

Cling so tight the pencil is crushed beneath her hands

The chance to have her creative side recognized.

To accept the challenges that once terrorized

Or how about the chance to prove wrong.

To accomplish and feel so strong.

So strong that even the grips of negativity can't hold her back.

And yet even the word change has too much negativity

Time to step away from the dark and move towards the light

One job may change my life?

Even better. One job will improve my life.
