So many people have given me side eyes or told me that I couldn't do it
They've told me I won't be able to do it
And I can't help but wonder if there's something more
Are they wanting me to be worse than them so that they can feel better about them
Are they feeling jealous because I seem to have a goal for my life
Are they jealous that I have a desired path for my life
Are they jealous of the possibility of success that I'm reaching for
And why can't we just be happy for each other
Why can't we find joy in the success and ambitions of others while not feeling jealous
Because it's heartbreaking to see that you don't have their support
The miffed looks that you get when you talk about a goal that you have for yourself
The deprecating words that they say to try and make you feel worse
There's already so much hate in this world
Why can't we just be happy for each other
Even if it's just a little thing like completing a goal
