I feel for you for we all have our own deep-seeded insecurities. But you lost me when you chose to act on that insecurity in a profoundly false and disgusting way. Instead of using it to fuel the drive to self-betterment, You made it your personal license to shame others. Pushing, imposing your authority that’s shot to hell You chose the road that leads to losing everyone’s respect. Pulling, shoving just to get ahead in the game You’re a crab in a bucket and you’ve got no shame. The others you’ve pulled to debasement to show your worthiness Are the same people who can attest to your worthlessness. These acts of self-preservation, of making oneself superior to others Displays not how high you’ve flown, But how far beneath the same people you trample on you’ve fallen. So, fall if you will But don’t take everyone else down with you.
