Jealousy

Jealousy it's a ugly green monster.

We are all victims of it we are all jealous of something or somebody.

It's a feeling nobody can help it is just there.

It comes in all forms. 

It's that girl with the better clothes and shiny hair. 

It's that girl with the prettier face and the hotter body.

It's that girl you know who can easily take your boyfriends away.

It's the nicer things she owns the better car the bigger house.

You think She's everything you're not.

You doubt yourself you feel bad you think you will never measure up to her because she's perfect.

But in reality nobody is perfect not even her.

You're unique everyone has insecurities we would not be human if we didn't. 

Jealousy is something that eventually consumes us.

And it will if we let it.
