Envious Distractions

Envious of things ever so various Furious of others’ successes Paying close attention to goals becoming precarious That have deeply consumed my mind Especially what others have achieved in little time. Focused on everyone else’s aspirations While my own goals continue to decline Submissive to any sort of temptation Forces its way back into my mind Provocation making my time benign. Coming to a realization long protracted To accept everything that is done and gone To move forward and not become distracted Disregarding leeches attached like a prawn Setting mindset to additives not what’s subtracted. It is an everlasting challenge To ignore all of your shortcomings Even harder to focus just on yourself And to not think about everyone else. One must continue to remember That only you can change your life You are the lone sole contender It is only your hand holding that knife That flips through the pages of life Striding forward with any sense of fight. Regardless of others’ successes Envious of them ever so various Accept that the past is done and gone Control your own future Not any other person but you.
