Never Quit!

Job description clear
Joined a new team
Worked as specified
Days began great

Reputation and success
Felt not a need
At any time to reiterate
Thought life was smooth

Surrounds turned blind
Took things for granted
Envied by all others
Attitudes started to change

By the time understood
Time was too late
Should have been smart
Now, comments tap on

Drip, drip, drip – each drop
Comments, drip, look, drip
None said a word anywhere
And ‘I’ started to drown

Fear and shock took over
Life started signing off
Almost stopped the breath
‘You’ thought its victory

Know, that it’s short lived
When realization struck
‘I’ started retaliation
In an artistic fashion

Future was all success
‘You’ ended in despair.
