Fatimah Jimoh Poet Free verse

Jealousy

Jealousy!
The path to every evil,
destruction, insecurity.
A powerful feeling,
common among youth.
Leading to rivalry and enmity.
Causing spies at work.
Deafening sound of actions.
Leading to broken home, 
and shattered hearts.
Jealousy!
proves it gravity with depression.
Suppresses boldness and confidence.
An enemy to progression.
Making one suffer a great loss.

Ida Medina October 11, 2023 at 11:40 AM You said it perfectly. You took the thoughts out of my head (from the past 50 years) and wrote them a poem way more eloquent than I could have ever written or said. You are a very special amazing person!

Ink Empress September 29, 2023 at 11:40 AM Jealousy is a disease, and it can be destructive: theres nothing more sadder than jealousy, how one can go beyond to destroy someone out of jealousy ive seen. Felt this poem! Very well expressed
