Trading Places

I think we’ve all looked at someone else

Compared to ourselves

And only seen

What was missing

Wishing we could be

Or say

Or have the things

That we can see

That they do

But really

What we can’t see

Is what they really

Had to go through

To be able to

Be

Or say

Or have

Or do

Those things we so badly want, too…

And I really don’t believe

That if we REALLY knew

Exactly what they knew

Exactly what they went through

Exactly what they have or had to do

That we would even REALLY want to…
