Self Depreciating

Self Depreciating 
Flagellate 
Popularity 
Feigning craving approval 
A path to Institutionlised acceptance 
Rising to the next level
Free of the title working class
The fabric cloth cut from
A sell out a Charlatan 
For the Man to prey upon
What is a boy without a soul
A rich man
Who when fails 
Is hung out to dry
On blacksmith's nail's 
Hoping his old friends 
Will forgive and forget
Given the choice 
He pretended he outgrew
