Envy

I hate you.

For beating me to the finish line
For being more beautiful.
For being liked by everyone.
For not needing to make an effort, and still getting what you want.
For being richer.
For being with your friends.
For having friends.
For being loved.
For knowing how to love.
For being flawless.

For owning what I cannot have.

Envy is such a human trait. It festers and rots in your being like an undeniable disease, and still, people can't help but give in to it sometimes. Why not look at the person you'd like to be, though, instead of the persons around you, instead of trying to measure up to them, measure up to that unattainable self you desperately want to be. There will never be someone exactly like you, hence there will never be someone exactly like the person you're imagining yourself to become someday. So just forget envy and go for it.
