There are times when I look at wealthy people with envy, jealousy, hate & anger.

They have all that they want, with little effort.

From my perspective, my environment, my reality.

Everything feels overwhelmingly unfair.


Like the poor child with faded hand-me-down clothes.

Watching the spoiled rich classmate,

that flaunts every new item his parents buy him to the rest of the class.


When these emotions fill my mind with incomprehensible ideas.

I sometimes relish a few outlandish realities.

As if to experience the life of spoiled wealth child.

I devote my life towards arcane arts so in time I could posses such a body, and swap places.


Or the reality of devoting myself to a deity, offering sacrifices to live such a life in my next.


Escapism tends to quell me.

But until I reach my success,

I find myself as the frog at the bottom of the well.

      @Emmyy... Not really...
      But I really like the post...

      @Tramsloof... How much do you see in emptiness...
      It's not that I don't... It's just that I can't point it out...

      @Emmyy I cannot judge poetry as I feel that I have little to no taste for it. I'm sure people who like haikus would enjoy yours.

      @Emmyy & @Tramsloof

      My state of mind was burdened when I wrote this blog on a whim. And I appreciate your thoughts and words of encouragement, looking at situations in a multitude of perspectives.

      @Tycheri lol, I meant that in another sense. Not that I was afraid to taint the emptiness, but that I could see a lot in that emptiness. And no matter how much I write on it, I would still be leaving many thoughts behind, left unwritten.

      But thanks really for the compliment, I will share some of my observations someday. Although I keep doing that individually at many places. I could even copy/paste my posts here and there and they would be sufficient for a blog post...lol

      And as a matter of fact, I do have a few blog posts. They are just buried under the tides of time.

      @Tramsloof You're insane. Is it too beautiful to taint? It's literally empty, devoid of anything. For even **** would be greater. Even if you write without meaning to write anything. You could be surprised at what you come to create. Even if at first you find it repulsive, you will see how it could be better and better. In the end, it will become something you would have never imagined, dazzling you. It's called the writing process!. :blobhero: Seriously, you are so mother****ing thoughtful, too thoughtful. It's kind of a waste to not share something originally from you. And people are even writing 10 words or posting a picture. The bar is not high.

      @Tycheri when I write at places, I am really relating or reacting. When I have to write at a blog post, the empty white looks too wonderful to taint.
