I gaze over the fence
Beyond my world
The yard over there looks so fresh
So clean
So bright and welcoming
And the grass is so green
So I jump the fence and laugh
As I leave this world behind
I land and frown
The grass is very rough
And although very bright and green
My grass is so much softer
The air over the fence is stale
And there is no wind
There are no animals in the yard
Just boring grass and a few small trees
I look back over the fence
My yard is so beautiful
So over flowing with plants
The colors seemed faded while I was there
But now they look so clean
I try to jump back
But I am tried
And do not have the energy to make it
I cry out
The world I left was my world
And now I am stuck here
That is the hell of it all
When you are there you want to be here
And when you are here you want to be there
We are never happy with the life we have
And until we leave behind
We never understand what he truly had
So I look over the fence and smile
Maybe my grass in my yard
Maybe it isn't so bad here after all.
The grass is always greener.

Ohhhhhhh this is so a trademark of my life for the last couple of years. Moving from Tucson AZ where it was hot and brown to Seattle Washington where it is green and cooler. Now I regret ever leaving. Now I am in a state where its 3 times as expensive to live, have no job, no money and living with someone that I detest. Add to that that it has rained more in one year than I have seen in my life.

Sigh. The grass IS always greener......
