Jealousy and Dreams


I always wondered if there was something I had that you wanted

Because to me

You had it all

 

You probably did realize you were lucky when you glanced at your reflection in the mirror

You probably did stop to breathe in how amazing it was when you got to explore a new corner of the world

You probably did acknowledge that your intelligence was not only the result of your efforts

 

I know now

You were grateful 

Even when I couldn't see it

But I also see how lucky I was to feel Jealous

 

Now I know

I dream BIGGER

I reach FARTHER

I see MORE

 

I know 

And I am grateful
