from Winter’s bleak fury
till Spring’s brief revival.

the bitter people will pile on in numbers when you're down, they're unskilled, their vultures, your fail is their victory feast, they dont pull themselves up, they'll wait until you're down, then they will milk it, try to surround yourself with 2 or 3 who will pull you up, if all around you are bitter you will never get up, it's better to walk alone than crawl as the ego feed of the scavenger, their victory is your fail, they have no other means of victory and will always seek to pull you down
