I stood your ground, I peddled your lies
But now I have to make this clear
You're on your own, I quit! I'm outta here.

You gave me food, I ate your bread
"You're the boss," that's what you said
You told me to lead but you stopped me with fear
I'm done with this job. I'm outta' here.

I got my junk, it's in this box
My pictures, my books, and my monogrammed clocks
Don't pay attention, these are happy tears
You can walk by yourself now, I'm outta' here

I'm driving away I can hardly see
How will they get on without good ole' me?
Why am I leaving? Now it's not quite so clear
Too late to turn back, I'm outta' here [comments] => 4 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 44 [informant] => norticus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

I know these sentiments well - there is always that feeling of ambivalence when leaving a job and the uncertainty of going to a new place and having to start over.
Wish you the best of luck on the new job.
