The Expected and the Entertaining

I see the people watching,
Waiting for mistakes,
In this seas of fish,
We are all the bait.

Perfect is seen as average,
As the average becomes estranged,
When the best becomes expected,
The worst is what entertains.

‘cause no one cares if you’re good,
They all want to see the bad,
So don’t be surprised by their laughs,
It is honestly quite sad.
