ReplyDeleteohhhh estefaaano you've voiced so many of my unspoken feelings.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is a mirror, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt reflects all those little aspirations and comforts we see in others and wish for ourselves.
so much emotions here.
ReplyDeleteit takes a lot of courage to lay out your envies so openly.
it's not about malice, it's about longing.
and no surprise , estefaaano_writes captured that longing so beautifully, line after line. 🥺
Every line is a whole mood.
ReplyDelete🫶🏻😭
ReplyDeleteYeah, I feel this. All of it. Especially "When laughter comes to you with ease."
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just doesn't, you know? Good poem.
❤️
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches a little reading this because I know exactly what that feeling of yearning is like.
ReplyDeleteBut there's also beauty in acknowledging those feelings, and you do that so gracefully here.
DeleteFor me, I think these are list of things to strive for, even if they feel out of reach right now.
ReplyDelete"When hope shines bright within your eyes" – that's something to hold onto. ❤️
🫶🏻
DeleteReading this felt like looking at a blueprint for a life I wish I had.
ReplyDeleteWhile the theme is envy, I actually found myself thinking,
ReplyDelete'Which of these do I have?'
It made me appreciate the small moments of ease or resilience I do possess.
So, thank you for that unexpected shift in perspective.
The poem for me, doesn't sound jealous, it sounds like a raw plea for connection and ease.
ReplyDeleteYou've given voice to so many hidden struggles. 👏🏻
As someone trying to put my art out there, 'When your art touches countless souls, I envy you' hit me hard. It's the dream, isn't it? The validation. You articulated that desire perfectly.
ReplyDelete👏
ReplyDeleteI envy you.
ReplyDeleteThe rhythm you've built with the repetition is mesmerizing, estefaaano_writes.
ReplyDelete"When your words paint vivid worlds" brooo you're literally doing that here!
ReplyDeleteI ENVY YOU.
this piece does something to me.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't vibe with "envy" but this isn't that ugly kind. It's more like a recognition of a life lived fully, without apology.
Powerful stuff, estefaaano_writes!
ReplyDeleteit makes you stop and think about what you actually lack versus what you think you lack.
