Envy Poem by Dorsey Baker

Envy



You can walk like
they walk
You can talk like
the talk
You can look
and be just like them
you cannot be someone else
but you can try
to be like them
if that is what you really
want to be
but being you
makes you unique
just you being you
makes you somebody!

Thank you for sharing this poem! It reminds me of that quote “It’s hard to be yourself, while trying to be like everyone else.”

Yes it's best to be oneself as this poem teaches so gently and poetically. Kudos. Pleez do review my newest poem too, titled, a song for lunarlovers
