The grass is always greener
On the other side of the field
Out of reach, out of your league…
Are forbidden fruits as sweet as they say?
In a field full of poisonous ideals
The grass will never be as sweet,
Or soft…only new.
Was it worth it?
And your heart grows ill
With the unfamiliar and the guilt
Taking its toll, this is what you signed on for…
Is it everything you’d hoped for?
In a field full of pesticides
Your soul is left there to die
Along with your heart…
Will you miss them?
The grass seemed so much greener
On the other side of the field
Shiny, new…and tainted.
I hope it was worth it.

Drown the frown into a smile.
But I digress. I'm not going to offer any real critique on this, because I think it works well as it is. I love the contrasting imagery. And the last lines is quite ... hmm ... is the opposite of a non sequitur a "sequitur"? Because that's what the last line is. It follows from the rest of the poem in a wonderfully lateral way.
That is all.
