Analysis of Envy
Sumer Cannon 1982 (California)
You put on a mask
As if it just some average task
Portraying yourself to be
Someone you could turn to when in time of need
When In fact you are a bad seed
Not knowing how to celebrate another persons win
Only able to justify your own sin
One more friendship into the trash bin
Seeing you for who you truly are is definitely going to leave a scar
That’s ok I refuse to cry in my brand new car
Instead I’ll wish on a shooting star
May everyone see you for who you truly are!
