Jealousy

What is jealousy
Do jealousy define life
Is jealousy a dangerous tool to manifest 
Jealousy can turn the best into the worst 
Jealousy so toxic it could make the heart of a wealthy soul
Turn tainted
She a nightmare can make you lose yourself in the ways of others life
Jealousy can turn people into beautiful lairs
Jealousy can turn your world upside down to the point of no return 
Do we as humans can determine between happiness and jealousy
She causes people to lose faith from time to time 
She only an illusion but will society ever realize her distractions 
She is an easy habit to pick up but hard to shake like an addiction
She can turn the pure into dirt that’s hard to get up
Jealousy jealousy jealousy 
Please go away because your intentions is never right
Jealousy you are a trickster you cause many souls since the beginning of time.
