I covet what She has,

The perfect smile and the most

appropriate attire.

While I lay slumped, posing as a liar.

Why does She get to be wild,

When all I ever do is comply to my inner

wounded child?

Why does She get a second chance,

When I look to an absent figure in mere

askance.


Only to discover mere air rife with

unduly resentment,

Why does She get to enjoy life with her

friends upto her heart's contentment?

That withdrawn look in Her eyes didn't

stay beyond my reach.

Then why does she rejoice in disguise

and I roam around with an open wound,

Is there any good for which I preach?


Did it not hurt when he rejected you?

When he undermined your being and

abandoned you?

Then tell me why do you still make the

blunder to see the best in everyone?

You loved and lived and I haven't even

begun.

I envy your poise, despise your cloak of

make believe peace,

Envious how you make others laugh and

obscure your agony with such ease.



The girl who clutches onto her sanity

with everything within,

The one who doesn't let it show but cries

herself to sleep.

Why does She seem so far ahead of a

healing process,

For I am a mere foul clutter of unloved

remains.



Her damp pillow screams for a hand as

She shakes another,

make up touched up far too many times

but she got tougher.

When I turned to the little shiny pills to

cope,

When there was clearly no hope,

How does She get the courage to stir, to

be altruistic and not just mope?

For I feel it to be the superior option,

To wallow,

to sob for the lost times,

To relish the unfavored with only so

much caution.



Mama said it's not nice to be jealous,

But she never wanted me, expressed so

heartily,

How to be a recluse, caused such a

wreckage wordlessly.

So, in all truth, what does she know?

When had a drowning rat ever been

victorious in saving another?

Just a tough row to hoe,

Is it too late to take my first flight with a

broken feather?



Then there's Her who took turns

paragliding,

Broke free from the guilded cage with

not a single wing.

When you stay so warm, so collected

when do you relieve?

Lord said you are me, just from a

different week but I've never been the

one to believe.
