Phoenix

“Where do you see yourself in five years?”

Why do interviewers always ask this question?

Why don’t they ask “a year from now?”

Or what about “three years from now?”

Three years ago, give or take, I was a fresh nurse,

Interviewing for work to further my career.

They asked me that question, and I gave some great answer I’m sure.

Three years later, and I took a job for family, that no longer feels like family.

Three years later, and my career is decimated unless I get my boss’s recommendation.

My job is destroying my career.

Now, it’s time to rise from the destruction,

Like a phoenix.
