Jealous One

She was such a jealous girl
She couldn't stand next to flowers
Afraid their fragrance and beauty
Would eat her head and devour

Jealous and zealous 
She acted like a little girl
With her tempers and tantrums
Screaming, her hair a tight fist whirl

Always was the jealous type
Insecure of her own moves
Sneaky and snake like
Asking if one approves

Always will be a jealous one
Picking and poking at the good
Waiting for someone to notice her 
Knowing they never would
