Envy

Twisting and turning,
The tables of green,
People are learning,
The ways of the mean.

I wish to be like the others,
So delicate and fair,
But there is another,
With beauty beyond compare.

There is a person with beauty,
That is far greater than anyone can see,
And though I wish it,
That person is not me.
