Balldeer and the Soprano

people who despise you
wish you well
they pat you on the back
they detail your success
they speak you as best
and wait to stand before you
to say that every
thing they had ever
said was a lie
and they wished and worked for
 your demise, from the day
they meet you

regardless of the positive and 
more of the negative
might they seek you to
undermine you
