We started out together.
Well, nearly.
I took the road less travelled.
Metaphorically, since this less travelled path
has also now been treaded upon.
We started out together.
We're now at a similar stage, the same age.
They earn four times the amount I do.
I smile during the day a lot more.
They have weekends and Friday nights.
Oh, and that's when they smile and have a hearty laugh.
I'm off work never.
Not even when I'm sleeping.
I wonder if they're happier.
An envious streak too, briefly crosses my head.
But do I want the life they have?
And I fail to answer the question each time.
The road less travelled is trippy.
And trippy I like.
I now need the bumpy ride to sleep.
Can't find peace without.
Them, I envy and admire.
But despise them I not.
For they strive to make their world happy.
Like I seek mine.
