I Did It My Way

You stabbed me in the back Took that knife and did a hack You could not look me in the face My lady you are a total disgrace How deep did you dig that grave My how those words became so brave The hole just became so deep All came crashing at your feet The knife it twist and turned Even your fingers got burned You were so callous and cruel Our relationship became a duel I walked out and never looked back This job became heavy like a sack I pulled the knife and refused to bleed I walked out, did it my way, yes indeed 6/20/14 for contest

Dear Phyl, Congratulations on your first-place win. When people we know betray us, it's usually best to walk out. Very happy that you showed strength when you "pulled the knife and refused to bleed." Awesome! Admire your strength and cherish our friendship. Love, Carolyn

Breaking free of a job, taking your own path, good job, sometimes severance is needed and it takes guts to do it. Grats on your first place medal :) Well done!
