I hate her for all she can show,
Looks, brains, and money to spare,
I’m aching, but she’ll never know.
I’ve not a penny, and no good looks,
I’m always down on my luck,
I’m smart, as long as it’s in a book,
I feel I’ve been hit by a truck.
But, she, oh she’s really got it all,
She surely must be in God’s favor,
What about me? I missed the call,
My life is so drab, without flavor.
I must have been born unlucky,
If I was her, I’d be happy,
Her life looks to be just ducky,
She’s acting so sweet and sappy.
What’s that you say? She overdosed?
Why? She had everything!
She left a note with the words enclosed,
“I crave the peace death will bring.”
Oh my, and to think I hated her so,
What hell she must have gone through.
Why didn’t she ever let anyone know?
I guess that’s what pride will do.
It seems my life’s not so really so bad,
I’ve never thought once of taking it,
Now I see all the good things I had,
While wanting her life and mistaking it.
God, forgive me for not seeing,
For not reaching out as a friend,
I was too busy just being,
Jealous till her tragic end.
