Traitors

I'm a portrait of misplaced trust and forced hatred 
after false friendships escaped true tracing 
through good faith and naive youthful grace
believing no way would close mates be two faced 
but hey when you struggle colours change 
in failure they tailor a taste to upstage and maintain  
your pain so you remain where life shames 
showing true pain overwhelming your brain 
and mental state while they display window pane
glee happily raising their own social status to places  
their own game couldn't claim without you drained 
driven insane by the fight you fight in vain 
destined to lose and lose again just the same 
until you're beaten and their higher up the chain 
put the blame on you for falling a way unexplained 
as if destined as your fate reflecting your traits 
offering a true indication of your place 
as a waste of space in place below where they pace  
but facades are fake and only ultra lightweights make 
toothless toothpaste for tooth ache too fake  
a desperate way but hey I rise up out of the flames 
success is my aim fuelled by their game to upstage their lame 
weak strain of blood in their veins stained shameless 
tactics of the talentless and truly brainless 
who I trusted never thinking the unthinkable, traitors
