My Confession
By Anonymous
They say the market is a forgiving friend
To those who know it well
My secret is deep and dark
I do not share, I do not tell
I planned and obsessed as a wise man should
When fortune came my way
With grace and cleverness I acted
Alas, said fortune did not stay
The market is no friend of mine
Like a loose lady, the feelings were not real
Under pressure you will not know
I acted harshly, but I did not steal
