The Haters

They only live to see your mistakes
Like what they do is a big stake 
Pinning others give them their pride 
Like it's their ticket for a ride 

All those prying eyes throwing stones
Like they don't have a life of their own 
Saying things they don't understand
Giving yourself their own dark brand 

Tongues that speak gibberish words 
Like novice hands that play with swords 
I don't know if what prize do they gain 
Fools they are that try to catch the rain
