A Life No Better


My life has been privileged No waits or buts just all Every wish fulfilled Still no better than yours Envy and remorse fill my mind For why can't I have nothing At all? Still no better than his I feel jealousy for what you have I wish simplicity filled my life But still, I feel, No better than yours! This is a curse, not a blessing. Take it all! I don't want it! Not if you are going to look at me like that My life, is no better than yours. You say you're disgusted with what i have And yet you hang around feeding off me If that is "friendship" I don't want it. My life is no better than yours. But I do lie. I miss your friendship already. Come back! I'll buy you anything. Just stay a little longer. No better than yours. Take it all if you want Just keep me by your side. My life is no better than yours..... If you are not by side.
