[Need a title for this]

by Alex Penuelas   Jul 7, 2017


Pay close attention
to the ones
that don't clap
when you win.

Be extra cautious
Of those who
Do not shake
Your hand when
You've finally succeeded.

For they are
The ones who
Wished that you
Would just fail.

    Far too many of the people around us are this way, and others just want you to succeed so they can take advantage of your new found fame; however, there are lots of true friends too. Keep your eyes peeled for those - cause they make every one of those losers look even more stupid and pathetic :)
