Shine
Incandescent
She heard that envy was real,
That it was something that people feel,
Waste of an emotion
Her thinking heart said
Like throwing away glitter of your own soul
Why wouldn’t you just want to shine instead
For if it does exist
This thing called envy
Why can it not be made to a lesser degree
Why not let the light that wants to shine
Just be,
For what lid
Can snuffle
A flame that does not wish to burn
Only wants to shine brightly
Deep inside
