Insurmountable Or So I Thought

Insurmountable or so I thought
So I began to shut down
Eventually curling into a fetal position

Procrastination wiped out possibilities 
Depression set in
I looked at it as a mountain without steps

There is no way, I thought
I will have to quit my job
I cannot do this!

The more I verified this thinking
The closer I got to full blown 
Incapacitation

I could barely move now
I was worthless 
not only as an employee but as a human being

So I left this job
to pursue a new one
things went well the first week or so

until I found a new mountain….
