Jealousy, the venomous and deceptive emotion.
The mountainous trouble, the worry gone through,
to get to this height, then see it claimed as untrue
Jealousy of all emotions is so painful,
Causing the heart to ache and head to spin
Jealousy is a trait I never want to suffer from,
The double-edged sword
Whether you lose,
Or win.
Envy is the art of
Counting others blessing instead of your own
Stirs like a vengeful heart
Takes the rhyme from out the reason
Leaves behind the bitter parts
Don’t waste time on jealousy
Incompetent and confident is incapable of jealousy
Green eye flares hot
Ruptured crust
Drowning drifting calm
Green eyed monster skin
In behaviour Satan akin
The green eyes which ones were blue
Now filled with envy and jealousy
No one gets all they want and that is the beauty of life
Adding chase and sometimes strife
Jealous of her success
Chances are your are not ready yet.
Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes behind and sometimes on a jet
Blowing off others candle
Doesn’t make yours shine brighter
Trying to somebody else
That you can never be
Losing your own self
And all you meant to be
You have your own story
Why you want to reasons of others tragedy
When you can the hero of your own story
If you give other people scars
You won’t be having stars
It will haunt you back
Karma won’t leave you a slack
We are all different
None have it all
The seed which you be lithely sow
Grows bitter fruit that does not nourish
Bad intention blow
What good soil there is
Take the woman to her empty world
Fettered in chains her dungeons be
No man no woman her companion be
Till a last breath no mercy receive
In jealousy there is
No happy ending
Should you ever find
Yourself the victim of
Others bitterness jealousy lies and insecurities
Don’t be mad
Remember it could be worse
You could be them.
Don’t go for the call
It’s like a bad fall
To cause you pain
Get out of that rain
Or else you will be singing this in vain
“Oh jealous heart oh jelous heart
Stop beating. Can’t you see the damage you have done
You have driven away the ones who love me
Oh jealous heart now I am the lonely one.”
Jealousy is common emotion. Everyone one of has those days and someone whom we want to switch places with. Grass is always greener on the other side. But it is not worth it. It’s not what it looks like. No one is ever completely happy. Everyone has their darkest or worst moments. When I was a kid I was jealous of everyone, I always thought everyone has more than me but my granny once gave me an awesome advice. She told me if you’re jealous of someone then try to find their hardship or difficult things about them. If you can’t find one then carry on being jealous, wishing for switching souls but if you do find even one then be grateful to be in your own skin and respect that person too. I do that everytime but I am yet to find anyone who haven’t been through the hardship or hardtimes. Hence no one worthful that I want to switch places with. There is always good and bad. Smartest girl is the my school didn’t have parents and the prettiest girl was daily abused and the richest kid had no real friends etc etc. All had problems. Nobody can bear yours nor you can bear theirs. I don’t want to pretty at the cost of being abused or smart in return on being given proper food and shelter or having a warm loving family in exchange of getting cheated on all the time or being super famous and fight everyday for my sanity and justify every normal thing I do. I am pretty sure if we can weigh people’s lifetime sorrows, it would weigh pretty much the same. Be what you want to be, lets not others stuff decide it for you. Be original. We all are unique and have different purposes. Love, live and let live. Jealously only eats up your beauty. Have more faith in yourself, you got something that other people don’t.

Jealousy is not something I have ever suffered from but I have seen it countless times. Truly one of the worst human traits and your piece covered it nicely.

Jealousy, a double edged sword – one side a bit sharper than the other. It’s always the inner side – the side facing you.

Jealousy is a horrible thing that ends friendships, lives and more. Be grateful for what you have and that others have things to sustain their lives. Then there are relationships that have been ended by Jealousy.
