you thought you were happy

until you met someone happier


you thought you were on top

until you met someone above you


you were content to be where you are

until you saw someone else's spread


and now you're inconsolable

now you've created flaws that didn't previously exist


now you know the hunger of delusion

now you know the folly of attachment


now you blame everyone but yourself

for the hole you missed seeing and fell into


now you think you're unhappy

and need a fix of something...quick...
