Negative Neighbor

For those with a slick tongue, are actually depressed
Drowning in self pity as they are unhappy with their current position
Tearing down others so that they may rise 
To no one's surprise, they seek the same attention
as those greater than them 
Success is eons away from home 
Bitterness lives around the corner 
Disdain on their faces as they greet their neighbors
Just another day in pitty city
