How I envy them
Rushing on their way to some important business
Or perhaps into the arms of a loved one
As I hobble through the throng of bodies
With no intent but to waste the hours
Which nature has given in vain to one such as I
Driven by nothing, I stand
Deplorable to all unwanted by more
Affected by naught but the winds light caress
Needing nothing but purpose, direction and soul
A belief of the kind once sold
How I envy them all
Decisions affecting some person so close
An errand to run, answering someone who spoke
A purpose for moving, a reason to be
I envy them all for not being me.
