'jealous' Acrostic

Jaunty faces Evoke positive thoughts And even though they say encouraging words to you Layered within those words are thoughts of failure Only their mind’s eye knows about Until that day you are on your knees Struggling to get up; while they are watching you and not lending a hand ©135020092013

Hey, homegirl, nice acrostic. Take jealousy as a compliment, my friend. Enjoy your weekend ahead, cold though it may be. Licia :-)

I have met several in my life that have done this. Cruel, filthy...they were. Fortunately, I didn't need them to be where I am today. I definitely need to read a strong piece like this.

Ow gee..jealousy is the worst deed in the world indeed..the one which steals happiness.It comes in many colours..some seen and other hidden as the ones described above.An excellent acrostic dear.
