Optimistically Depressed

I'm feeling optimistic in a disillusioned way.

When I can keep the wolves at bay.

My home life as always, is brilliant.

Because whatever happens, my family's resilient.

Honestly, looking for work is a full-time job,

 when you want to earn a few bob.

Most days I don't mind,

if there are any to find.

But today, it's getting under my skin.

I wouldn't mind if doing all this administration work was making me thin.

I know it sounds strange, but I'm looking forward to Saturday.

The weekend is a time to play.

I work so hard at finding work, that I allow myself the weekend off,

and it's time to shop... to buy cake and scoff.

I suppose it would help if I got some feedback.

Just to see if I'm on track.

It would be nice to see if my CV is working, at least one of us is.

But not getting feedback is taking the...  fizz out of things.

Oh well, time to get of out of my seat.

As usual, I'm on the hunt for something to eat.

Come to think of it, I haven't had a cake today.

YAY!
