Explain It To Me

How...
How did you do it
when I couldn't?
How did you
face the darkness
and win
when I am still
trying to
and falling apart?

Is there a secret
that you won't tell me?
Whisper it to me!
Please-
I'm tired of living life
like this,
stuck in cycles
of misery
and joy.

I don't want
to hate you;
you didn't do it.
You're achieving.
I'm proud-
but why do I feel so small,
so empty?

I tell myself it's not you,
that you didn't cause this-
but I've known it all along.
You have everything
I yearn for
and stand to gain more.
