Holding On

Envy is only an easy target
for grudges.

Holding onto something
that in the end
might as well be worth nothing.

Reaching out for what you can't have

But so desperately want-

The invisible barrier punches back as soon as you
punch it first.

Then why is it so hard to get rid of these feelings

Could it be called humane?
Selfish?

I truly wonder if its a curse of mine

If I am the only one who gets so hooked on one thing,
they can't concentrate on another.

Everyone is said to be envious at some point

Of someone who has something I simply cannot have

Though I do not understand why I cannot hold it.

Companionship, intimacy--

The feeling of being loved.

I do not understand why it is I cannot have it

While the rest of you humans,

the same as I

can.
