Coddled
Knock that chip off your shoulder,
you spoiled little brat,
you are not owed anything,
the world doesn't work like that.
Coddled by your parents,
given trophies for showing up,
brainwashed by professors,
to expect a golden cup.
The real world slapped you down,
there is a ladder to be climbed,
but no one ever told you,
that its a daily grind.
So you cannot hold a job,
none are good enough for you,
or that's what you think, truth is,
you bit off more than you can chew.
So drop your superior attitude,
understand that life is hard,
to build your crystal palace,
you must work for every shard.
