Overqualified
Too old
Too fat
Not enough of this
Not enough of that
It’s like going through combat
Innovation
Growth
Transformation
Leadership
These were the words that used to define me
Now no one seems to agree
I feel left out in the cold
Like life has passed me by
I work each day
To find a place to achieve
To keep the hope and believe
To believe that I have not withered away
To know that I have something left to say
The world has torn me down
I no longer smile
And laugh at what is around
I sink and think about what was
I have lost my buzz
I want another shot
To prove to myself that I have value
To show the world I am not done
My second part has just begun
