He lived a life that was near the edge, always the one to close a deal, anywhere in the world. But were all expendable, and some cannot deal with change.
*I was always the man* *Mr.Fixit bar none* *though I'd often be seen* *head buried in data.* *The phone would ring* *and I was away* *always doing something* *to me it did not matter.* *I was the 'king'* *I could do anything* *no problem too small* *just give me a call.* *I was invincible* *the genius to some* *in truth I was falling apart* *pushing myself to go on.* *Then came that day* *the one that changed my life* *invincibles heart* *attempted to die.* *No more the phone calls* *just a pension and goodbye* *now I'm on the edge of insanity* *and I cannot fix my life.*
