Riding slipstreams

Diffidence weighs heavy so she
clings onto coat tails and hopes for glory.
Desperation permeates while,
bleeding lore,  misplaced and laborious,
she fabricates mediocrity and assumes success.
She's myopic and unheeding,  rejecting negativity
with venom on her tongue and pushing forth anyway.
When inevitability occurs she'll pass blame,
insolently scapegoating and cruel.
Then she'll do it again.
Chasing rainbows until the end.

I think this is fantastic. Didn't you have another one rather similar? Something rings a bell, because I was much impressed by similar ideas before. You are developing a real 'voice'. The title is excellent.
