Rat Race

Thought  you were better
than the rest,
Took up the challenge 
and passed the test.

The drive is high
the rank is low,
Prospects are good 
but the road is long.

Nothing you get
you get for free,
Boost your performance
for perks you receive.

Your friends and family
Got left down the road,
You’re in the lead
But you’re walking alone.
