Vicarious
In another life you’d be happy
In another body you’d be happy
In another reality you’d be happy
You tell yourself
In another house you’d be happy
In another shirt you’d be happy
In another bed you’d be happy
You tell yourself
With a better job you’d be happy
With a better car you’d be happy
With a better pill you’d be happy
You tell yourself
With a better friend you’d be happy
With a better spouse you’d be happy
With a better child you’d be happy
You tell yourself
What you fail to see
Is what you’ve got
Is what someone else wants
What you are meant to have
