The Path No One Chooses Yet Successful If You'Re Useless
They act like a mate
but their fake
never give
but take
Always running late
expecting you to wait
it’s never their mistake
excuses that they make
Quick to pass the blame
a stain upon your name
and another one again
as they fly like a plane
and should you then complain
they will set you straight
with no apology as they explain
there’s no problem like you claim
before they carry on the same
because they will only notice
their needs and that they know best
it’ll sabotage your progress
as more watch where you go next
put suspiciously in focus
by lies which aid their process
you’ll be walking around all merry
unaware you’re seen unfairly
as the liars lies are many
yet you’re not aware of any
because some can become users
out of control accusers
now you’re known as a nuisance
thanks to stealthy lying losers
and if they are believable
it leaves you isolated
the untrusted individual
disliked and even hated
and there is no escape
you’re unknowing of your fate
but for odd things people state
that you brush off as out of place
those who truly know you
are the last to listen wholly
but by then very slowly
the lies are gospel Holy
you are seen how they portray
the image growing strength each day
pouring concrete on your grave
along a false path being paved
slander is a cowards lie
thought up in a soured mind
attacking those forever blind
looking forward not behind
a reputation you’ve now got
of being someone you are not
the shady one in every plot
and ignorant to try and stop
reaching a point you look so bad
when everyone else looks better
but those who slander are very sad
they’ve no ideas too clever
mentally they’re flipping mad
obsessed with you forever
they’ve found power they’ve never had
and pride themselves a wrecker
they’ve done this for their own advantage
to see you ruined by the damage
to be thought of as one with baggage
put out of favour in all who manage
even though they couldn’t suck less
they see slandering their success
a removal through destructive mess
fill in the gap and think their best
the actions come from desperate need
when brainless folk want to achieve
with talent out weighed by their greed
opting for the path all the others leave.
With their success confidence grows,
effort drops, behaviour shows,
before they know it they’re exposed,
ending in an all-time low,
and that’s why it’s the path…
where no one ever goes!!
