Disillusioned

A swath of envy Opened up loudly today Offering something But there’s no way out I’m very disillusioned Envy stings beyond

Ohhhhh! Been there and done that. It sure hurts when people you thought were your friends envy your progress if they don't gain something too. That's the reason for a sign I have on my car that says: "THE MORE PEOPLE I MEET THE MORE I LIKE MY DOG." The way I see it your success doesn't set me back one bit so more power to you. Nice job here my friend. God Bless, JB
