Professional Nothing

~As a child going to school.
The teacher would ask, what do you want to be?”
I answered, “a doctor, a lawyer, or maybe the president.” any of those would be cool.
Any kind of important job would be the profession for me.
Being part of the crowd was not something I ever felt was a need.
I was kind of shy and quiet never really loud.
Always by myself with my nose in a book. I was voted most likely to succeed.
Even though I liked school and always made the grade.
Alone by myself with only my dreams I stayed.
I thought when I grew up I would do something good
I would forget those that never gave me a chance.
I would make the most of my potential like any smart girl should.
Sadly for some reason my goals never did Advance.
Time flew by before I knew it.
It all went by so quick.
All my hopes and dreams were lost somewhere along the way.
My occupation is a Professional Nothing and I don’t like it a bit.
However, that is what I am as I sit here today.
There is nothing special about me. I have no real talent and it makes me sick.
Don’t let your life pass you by
Don’t let your dreams slip away
Or you might end up a professional nothing.
A professional nothing like I am today.
Sometimes I wish I could press reset and do life over again
But no time machine has been invented yet …so I can’t change the past.
 I have locked myself away in my own prison .
Filled with regrets about what could have been.
How I wish this was all a nightmare and I could wake up at last.
All I can do for now is keep the faith and pray.
