I hate how you get recognized,
you get rewards,
yet do nothing to earn them,
your fake as the eye can see.

you smile as if your great,
you walk as if your bad,
even though you may be loved,
your hated.

you only show up,
not taking time to be seen,
yet your under the microscope,
I don't know why i even try.

I earn what i keep,
I work hard, sweat, stride and bleed,
I'm jealous of your success,
but your success isn't what it seems.

The author's comments:
this piece is to anyone who really does work hard, they truly dedicate themselves to something that they love to do. Then after all your hard work, your masters have been mastered by someone who does absolutely nothing. literally, nothing at all, and yet they still get so much credit for what they get caught doing only at one specific moment, not even close to all the time. there fake, and only do good when seen. id curse on this piece, originally there was vaulger language, but did not meet the criteria for this website. enjoy.
