Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy,

I am hiding again - I saw you make an appearance with my old friend

Hey Jealousy,

it's been more than a while now and I'm so glad to see you - not 

If you could just let me know when you are coming that would be great.

The other people, see they are starting to know -  

I know it's not fair and nothing in life is fair 

we put in time on top of dealing with school - and you MADE IT - but still it was so hard 

he was 90 years old and you had no clue - a camera would be put in the living room and you would be told everything to do - but things ARE better now and people more than get it - 

 Hey Jealousy, 

I know my sister who is 2 years younger than me bought a house already but I wish you would just me let forget it.

I was a happy person before you showed up - and now I can't even smile without wanting to throw up - 

and for her  - she deserves nice things too- we are getting our due I know but we just gotta pull through

I know you have a tight hold on me - but I am doing everything I can to just get free - it's not right jealously 

we were taught not to feel this way about anything 

happiness is the feeling I miss the most 

when my jealously takes over my host
