Greenhouse


I envy you How you Work Exist I envy how you breathe Without feeling risk I envy how you speak How your gaze can meet their eyes How you don’t lose yourself Ripping through their mind I envy how my life’s better than yours But your mind is clearer than mine I’d give it all up for you You’d use it better than I. I envy how you love and feel Don’t drown in logistics Nor question if it’s real If your imagination invented this Or if it’s a story you often steal I envy how you rise When sunlight hits your skin While I’m tangled in my sheets Behind walls that have always been I envy your love for existence Don’t question it all Just living for experience Just browsing the hall I envy the world you live in I wonder if you’d survive in mine I wonder if it wouldn’t faze you at all Because ultimately… We choose what we’ll see outside
