I balance on a wishing well that all men call the world

[purplerabbits]

I envy you all:

I envy the rich ones their money, I envy the ones who've spent too much money for having had it to spend
I envy the happy ones their happiness, I envy the depressed ones their sympathy
I envy those with families that they care about, I envy those with no families
I envy the ones who're getting way more sex than me, I envy the ones who're turning down more sex than I ever get
I envy the Londoners their social life, I envy those in the country their silence
I envy the beautiful people, the thin ones, the ugly ones who yet feel free to be outrageous
I envy everyone with a cat, everyone with a garden
I envy everyone with a car, I envy everyone with cable TV
I envy everyone who owns their own home, I envy everyone with double glazing
I envy the cyclists, I envy the fit ones, I envy everyone who can go swimming without self-consciousness
I envy the ones who take more care of the environment than me
I envy people who have never known binge eating, people who are not afraid to answer the phone, people who can plan
I envy the intellectuals, the geeks, the people getting published, the ones who work at universities
I envy every one of you who can sing, or play an instrument, I envy those who can speak another language, or make a dress.
I envy people who can cook, I envy people who can maintain their own computers
I envy people who like their jobs, who hate their jobs but at least get paid more than me, who have no jobs and therefore some free time
I envy everyone younger than me for their chances
I envy the people with red hair, the people with black hair, the people with blonde or mousy hair for at least you can dye it properly
I envy the people with 20/20 vision, I envy people who can sleep easily
I envy the people who can wear high heels, I envy people who are taller than me
I envy people who have travelled, I envy everyone who has something interesting to say about their life

And I envy everyone who's going to tell me they know better than me for their god damn arrogance.
