Saying thanks to all of you whom do take the time to read my writing,

About two years ago, maybe a little longer i was hurt on the job.

Here’s where my life changes as i worked for six months waiting,

With tears in my right knee each day i walked back and forth to work.

Through all the games, lies, and a boss who was and still is a pathetic man,

I worked from morning till done, the same heavy load as if not ever hurt.

Finally surgery was approved and done, today not the same as i once was,

I speak of my panic disorder as it takes from me, a boss who so cowardly.

The harrassment that made this panic much worse as today a lawsuit still here,

After eighteen years to resign so as to gain a 401k, money runs out with fear.

Where i sit today with panic and pain is not the end of my world, i write to you,

Forced to retain an attorney as my job was threatened with lies and not a care.

Although i have done nothing wrong i am punished as a criminal, job is gone,

I only wanted help and what i got was stabbed in the back, blood flows unseen.

More surgery needed but i wait a waiting game as i am the one who does suffer,

A company, Armstrong Garden Center’s not so wonderful are they,

A man, let’s just call him one for now, a name Mike Wigler, angers me more.

I’m at the mercy of many things at this point, I worry and sleep not so much,

I don’t surrender, i workout each day in pain, work in the yard, still dream.

I’ve lost a lot, learned too not trust a bit more but i will survive.
