Why?

Why?
Why is it so hard?
All I want is to do is help
To live my life, use my skills, and have friends
But that's not allowed.
You can't get hired just because you can do the job
People won't tell you what you need to do differently
"You *know* what I mean"
Whispers behind your back
Job applications and resumes that fall into black holes
Why all the games? Why all the rules I don't understand?
Why do I have to guess, and never be sure if I've made the right move?
Why must I always fear the worst when doing things other people take for granted?
