Jealousy

As I wake from eternal sleep
I step outside my body
and try to reach who is me
I look in the mirror and see
my true soul screaming to un prison me

jealousy is such an ugly thing
and it has scattered everything inside of me
and when I think about what might have been
I would have left you that I can guarantee

as my insides slowly heal
and try to follow the path that has laid down for me
it seems life can be so unreal
and I can not seem tot agree.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
