-Jealousy

Jealousy a destructive emotion
Serves no-one well
Brings out the worst in human nature
Dragging mind and heart to a dark hell

Slowly diminishes the human spirit
Gnaws at ones soul
Creating confusion and paranoia 
No longer balanced or whole

Insecurity and disappointment
Lead to this negativity
Not at peace or happy with one’s self
Feelings of inadequacy 

Please believe in yourself
Never doubt your worth
You are no less
Than any other on this earth!
