EVIL EYE

They swear you’ll not reach
The success you’re eyeing
Because you chose your path
Refused the one they pointed

They sit and watch
Waiting for you to stumble
Sure you’ll fall
You shunned their unsound advice

They sneer at your attempts
Laugh, clap and stamp their feet
Jubilant because you tripped
Their evil eye did it’s foul

You crawl up and keep moving
Wipe the dirt off as you go on
Can’t give up
Can’t turn back

Not with their evil eyes
Watching and wishing you ill
Not with their malicious snarl
Anticipating your downfall

Must make it
Even if no longer for yourself
Just to kill their ugly snarl
Shut the evil laughter.
