Dsyphoria

The uglier older sister
The one who’s always met with judgemental eyes
The repercussions of Euphoria usually fall on her
But all she envied was her sister’s ability
To induce such strong feelings of happiness
Though her sister boasted this power, it never lasted long
Each time one after another, they all left
Returning to a regular monotonous state
That part she never envied
If she were to have such an ability, she would
Never allow pain to enter the minds of those she meets
These hopeless wishes would never cease, for most of whom she greets
Dwell with her in the depths of her discontent forever
