cheating f'iends

bad friends
and thieving bastards
fickle women
and getting shafted
smackhead wankers
my heart bleeds
i cannot help but feel cheated
out of all i've achieved
i work hard as i can
at my chosen profession
i develop my talents
as i practice them
i commit my heart
to those who support me
i refuse to let them
cheat me this way
it makes me angry
just to think
that someone so close
could expect of me
that to set themselves up
at alms with me
so they can indulge
their own jealousy.
