I envied her
the girl
she had everything
The perfect house, the perfect life
she went out every weekend and came back with a new car
Sure, her parents were distant
But mine followed me everywhere
I wished for every birthday that I was rich like her
We don't have money
but she did
and so
I hated her.
I envied him
the boy
he had everything
the perfect family, the perfect life
they didn't have much
but they sat together at every meal
I'd see his parents help him with his homework
they wouldn't eat out much but they'd cook together
I had to Uber or order online
I wished for every birthday that my family was like his
but it never was
he had everything
and so
I hated him.
