People tend to get jealous of others
because of their talents, knowledge, and success,
but for me, it is not this way
for i see a major consequence.

I, for one, realize that
I would actually have to BE
the other person, inside and out
to have what they have, to see what they see.

How could i want to trade my life
that I am already in too deep?
I know i wouldn't want to trade the memories
that would no longer be mine to keep.

I probably would no longer have my same
achievements and life long goal.
my disfuntional family may suddenly functional,
and being normal would get old.

One life is given to us.
I try to make of it what i can
because life would not be as good
if i had been born from a different woman or man.
