THEY THOUGHT I NEEDED THEIR RESPECT I NEEDED THEIR ESTIMATE TO BE WRONG

THEY THOUGHT THE PRESSURE WOULD CHANGE ME IT CHANGED WHAT I WAS WILLING TO TOLERATE

THEY THOUGHT I WAS BACK AT ZERO ZERO WAS NEVER MY EXPERIENCE LEVEL

THEY THOUGHT MY EXIT WAS A DEFEAT THEY NEVER SAW WHAT I LEFT WITH

THEY THOUGHT MY STORY WAS A WARNING I MADE IT A REFERENCE POINT

THEY SAW ME FALL BEHIND THEY DIDN’T SEE ME CHANGE THE ROUTE

I DIDN’T COME BACK STRONGER TO MAKE A POINT I CAME BACK WITH BETTER AIM

THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME FEEL SMALL I STOPPED STANDING WHERE THEY COULD REACH ME

THEY WANTED ME TO PROVE MYSELF I MADE THEM QUESTION THEIR STANDARDS

THEY THOUGHT I WAS FIGHTING FOR ATTENTION I WAS FIGHTING FOR POSITION

THEY TRIED TO PUT ME IN MY PLACE I REALIZED THEY DIDN’T HAVE ONE FOR ME

I THOUGHT I LOST AN OPPORTUNITY TURNS OUT I LOST THE WRONG OBLIGATION

I DIDN’T MAKE THE PROBLEM DISAPPEAR I MADE IT WORK OVERTIME

THEY SAID I’D CHANGED THEY JUST PREFERRED THE VERSION THEY COULD PREDICT

THEY THOUGHT I WAS FALLING BEHIND I WAS LEAVING THEIR TIMELINE

THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD ME FIGURED OUT THEY HAD JUST RUN OUT OF QUESTIONS

I DIDN’T NEED A BETTER HAND I NEEDED TO STOP PLAYING EVERY HAND THE SAME WAY

I WASN’T GIVEN AN ADVANTAGE I MADE ONE OUT OF WHAT I HAD

THEY SAW A REASON I WOULDN’T MAKE IT I SAW THE PART I NEEDED TO CHANGE

THEY CLOSED THE DOOR I STOPPED BUILDING MY FUTURE AROUND THEIR HOUSE

THEIR REJECTION SAVED ME THE TROUBLE OF OUTGROWING THEM IN PERSON

THE SITUATION DIDN’T GET BETTER I GOT BETTER AT USING IT

THEY CALLED ME OVERCONFIDENT THE RESULTS CALLED IT AN EARLY ASSESSMENT
