Gold on my sleeve!

By knowhereman

I never wanted to get this far I never wanted this life,
and yet in not wanting I have found myself here.

Not as high as I would like, but comfortable just the same.

Ohh, I would like to move up, but in a Dieing job?

Only to be reclassified as something new? And then to have this Gold removed and replaced by something not me?

8 more and I can count my 20 years wasted, in a place I never wanted to be.

But I do like the look of the gold.
