Directionless

I wish that I knew where to go from here,

Which way to turn to find another post.

I'm searching, but I just don't find it clear.

My resume's redone, or pretty near;

Though writing it, I find it hard to boast. 

But boasting's key to moving on from here.

On paper, yes, I've had a long career.

I should be more experienced than most.

But does it help? Well, that part's not so clear.

If I'm too old, folks worry I'll cost dear,

Or won't adapt. Of course I quick riposte,

But it means fewer ways to go from here.

What industry is hiring big this year?

With what new topics should I be engrossed?

The trend of business fashion's rarely clear.

I sit and stare, and -- idling -- start to fear

My working days have fled and I'm a ghost.

I wish that I knew where to go from here.

But even my desires are all unclear.
