Analysis of Clueless and jealous
I feel like I'm constantly chasing after someone else's dreams, it's killing me.
I feel like I'm constantly following everyone else's directions,
I'm scared
They take a single step and I struggle to take a thousand after them
To exceed them
To spite them
They laugh in blissful joy
And I curse and frown in my head
Why are you smiling
I wish you suffering
They have perfect bodies, and they make sure to accentuate them.
I criticize and disregard mine
I am filled with so much disappointment and hate
They live a thousand times
And I struggle to take in air
I push against the enclosed walls
The falling facade
Barely surviving each day
I do not have my own definition of living.

About this poem
This poem is about my life and how I feel sometimes, viewing life as a competition and not a challenge, always fighting unending battles never getting a moment to truly breath and celebrate just live.
