I Quit

o what a day
for me to display
if I should if a may
to show that I could not stay
stay in a place that gave me no way
cause for me, it would not show me pay
the pay I was worth, was a pitiful girth, and standing with it, made my head sway
I could not foreseen, if there was a hopeful gleam, but today, it'd be best if I stray
sure it was hard, but I had to stand guard, quitting this job helped me grow to slay
