'Wanting to be someone else,
is a waste of the person you are.'
~Kurt Cobain
Begrudging views to see how you
Think your life should have been;
I must say 'tis the best way
To waste the life you're in
The scorching Sun would never set
To be cool like the Moon,
Nor will time resent itself
For passing by too soon
Frogs don't play with Lincoln Logs
And cats won't learn to fly
Slugs and bugs pile not their hopes
To reach the stellar sky
It seems that we as humanoids
Can seldom be content;
So oft’ our lives are scrutinized
To self-impose lament
Mostly though we covet change
Because we fail to see,
There will always be, 'What was'
'Why them?’, but 'Why not me?'
If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts,
Then every day'd be Christmas
Instead of sugar-coated lies
We feed our discontentments
