Envy Of A School Girl and A Dreamer life unplanned

Santajah Douglass

Envy clenches my heart, a bitter truth revealed,

As I toil through lectures, while you roam unsealed.

In the confines of academia, I'm tightly bound,

While you, dear wanderer, no destiny has been found.

 

Oh, the life we could have had, if choices had aligned,

You, exploring the world, with no plan defined.

A kaleidoscope of adventures, unfolded at your side,

While I bury myself in books, my passions set aside.

 

I envy your freedom, your spirit unconfined,

As I strive for knowledge, a blueprint in my mind.

While you drift through moments, like leaves in the breeze,

I navigate deadlines and exams, my dreams on lease.

 

Every dot on the map holds a chapter unwritten,

Every street a new for you, forever smitten.

Yet here I sit, confined to these library walls,

While you gliding through life, embracing its calls.

 

But envy grows idle, futile in its might,

For what we choose defines our internal fight.

Yes, I sacrifice now, to build a path ahead,

But who's to say where our fates will truly head?

 

Perhaps in your mingling while exploring other avenue, you'll find a passion true,

And I in my studies, will discover a life anew.

Envy diminishes, replaced by understanding's grace,

For life's diverse canvas, we all paint at our own pace.

 

So, as I attend class and fill my mind's wondrous cap,

Know that I harbor no ill will, no spiteful trap.

For while you roam and explore, carefree and unplanned,

I'll make this college life an opportunity grand.

 

And perhaps, in the end, we'll reunite somehow,

Our journeys intersecting, boundless in the now.

Envy fades to admiration, for the choices we've both made,

As life's unpredictable symphony continues its serenade.
