I worked years for my position,

no one bothered to lend a hand,

but as soon as I got to the top,

every move was scrutinized,

they feel entitled to their opinions,

while i’m comfortable with mine,

yet their negativity lingers,

while my positivity struggles to stay afloat,

they smile in my direction and kiss at my heels,

but this isn’t what i wanted,

i never wanted to be at the top like this,

this isn’t my dream so i must step down,

passing the job onto another i feel light,

but those who used to smile now scowl,

they cast their eyes to the ceiling when i walk by,

i never knew achieving my dream position would make me the enemy,

i simply want to be right beneath the top,

but they growl at me and say i’ve ruined them,

that i need to go back but what about my dreams?

why am i the only one cheering myself on?

where are the people who used to care?
