Comparison Trap

Keeping up with the Joneses What I see is what I want Trapped in a comparison trap Never ending loop of haunt If only this then I’ll be happy Easy to oversimplify Grass is always greener Your own situation gets vilified Pursuing others perceived perfection Hunting down their fantasy Find yourself living vicariously Needing to fit into normality Consumed with consuming Look around and realize Marching toward material things Doesn’t make blissfulness materialize Scrolling for an answer Eyes glued to a screen Put down your weapon Start chasing your own dream Time to flip the script Accept your reality Live your version of happiness Then you’ll be set free
