Jealousy

Jealousy I grinned as they laughed as if making fun of me, The lesser child of God-me, Their inseparable love Why could I not get? Fortune smiling at them and mocking at me, Born with a silver spoon Why not me ? A luxurious life style lavish dinners, Adored by all gleaming shimmers, Beauty with a kind heart at peak of fame, Why not me ? Was I born with those green eyes? A fright to laughter, An injured lover's hell, Cruel as a grave, Stronger than love, Well is that jealousy ? My suspicious fears and envious resentments, Turned to a jealous rage kept me burning inside, Poetry doing top honours wish were truly mine, Hard work put by a friend why hope win was mine ? Oh envy ! Thy name I can't see, I can't let that green eyed monster ever feed on me ! Introspection Rumination Meditation Will these cure my disease? Will it change colour of my eyes ?
