The grass is greener on the other side

Foreword:

"You're tired. Take a break."

So I did. I sat down.

I let my mind wander.

And this is where it went.

Yes, "the grass is greener on the other side" usually refers to envy,but what's wrong with a little blind hope?

They had the nerve to ask me if
I want to study somewhere else
With no delay I said “fuck yes!”,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

Good life, good grades, good sleep, pick two,
But two’s a dream, I wish I could!
So pick just one, forsake all else,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

But even then, just one is hard,
know every muscle, fucking god!
Cram it all in, go sleep at five,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

Take some time off, my friends tell me,
You look tired, in need of sleep.
I know, I know, not much to do,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

I envy them. I really do.
I know they want the best for me.
But it’s a cut throat world, no space for self,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

It’s not for long, it’s just two years,
I know, my book, it’ll have to wait!
I’m so sorry, I don’t have time,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

My power’s gone, but I can’t slow,
No breaks, push push, do not fall off.
It’ll get better, hard not to be,
as the grass is greener on the other side.

And one day it’ll all be behind,
All of it gone, ash in the wind,
Amidst clear skies and a soft warmth,
where the grass is greener, on the other side.
