LANGUISHING

type a
striver
best class
uniform pride
look sharp
rank above the rest
going places
future scorching bright

till
it burns the wick
mind rebels
spirit goes wayward
grades skyfall
ego in the tomb

Languishing

emerging leader
corporate climber
title chaser
money grabber
deadline beater
kpi exceeder
throat cutter
empire grower
next in succession

till
renouncing the crown
dropping the troops
exiled in silence
four walls of misery
churning meaningless gibberish
flushed like 1-ply stained toilet paper
down pipes of mediocrity and waste

Languishing
