Passion

Your CV says you’re passionate about I.T.
Well that’s amazing - how awesome you must be
And are you also literally a star?
I thought so, I can tell you are.

The trouble is: quiet competence is what we need
Content to go unnoticed to succeed
Self-deprecating, modest and heroic
A Saint, a rock, a helper and a stoic

Indulge your passion wisely, but elsewhere
And ration out superlatives with care
You’ll need to save that stand-out word to say
Should passion truly strike your heart some day
