Misery
Misery loves company, or so I've been told
but could it be? just plain jealousy? you never know!
Either way it's grating my nerves and getting quite old
who do you think you have to impress?
that you must put me down to raise your success
all that you're doing is creating more stress
Are you so bitter, so envious that you must one up everyone?
why can't you be truly happy for someone? anyone?
why are you always trying to compete?
There's no need for that, we are all quite unique
but if you fight back, it becomes transparently clear
its twisted and turned, from here to there and you now
become the villain and they the victim austere
You need to be careful with 'friends' such as these
They don't give a care, they say and do what they need,
to get what they please, They drain you, make you upset,
worried and full of despair, there's no stopping them,
by word or by deed they always condemn
They thrive on others being miserable too, so dear friends beware
and heed my advice, rise above them and Smile! If you DARE ?
