Turn Envy the Green Eyed Monster to you can do this, You can
Envy the green eyed monster
can be harnessed to achieve a goal
I currently have a want for fitness
it's eluded while my life was on hold
So I am mustering up my health
and working on my stamina
And feeding up my ego
because in the end its chutzpah thats its anima
You have to attack with vigor
and have a plan you adjust

Jealousy
She was young, like the fawn,
The calf or lamb…
Heart alive with wonder
She wouldn’t listen to fear
Never a whisper of worry
She grasped life by the tail
And said, “hurry”!!
When she married, she expected
More of the good, but she misunderstood
Her husband was suspicious
Watched her like a green eyed monster
Ever fearful of losing his wife
He chose to protect

Green Eyed Monster
Two lovers smitten, cruel sister bitten
by envy, her tantrum, a spell newly written
‘This shall be so, when next they shall meet
His one desire, to roast her and eat
One empty flagon, then the unwary
He shall be dragon, she shall be fairy
Monster shall never know love with a sprite
Dragon shall see her as supper this night
Their

Green Eyed Monster
Have you climbed to the top
of your little mountain,
only to find others
looking down
From heights far above you
that unable to climb,
you turn a blind eye
to the ground

The Green-Eyed Monster
I married the man of my dreams.
At seventeen I had gone to extremes.
I loved him as if he were everything.
For him I could try to be anything.
When I say that I loved him dearly,
Let me state this very clearly.
I loved him like he held the air I breathed,
And when he was away I simply seethed.
As

The Green Eyed Monster
I hearkened to my better side, it bade me make amends,
For if not what was there, would then forever end.
A bitter mistress jealousy, my mind could hardly cope,
Thinking only of myself, harsh were those words I spoke.
Unfounded were my utterings, I had spoken like a child,
'Twas love that had unsettled me, my mind ran fast

Green-Eyed Monster
Indubitably there is one emotion
By the time I feel its first nettle
I am at the point of explosion
It is already too late to settle
I become immediately apoplectic
Before the green-eyed monster
Is validated as authentic
Thus exaggerating it asunder
I find this is so flabbergasting
My face turns red and I glower
Jealousy for me is most suggesting
That my sanity

The Green-Eyed Monster
The green-eyed monster
The green-eyed monster has awakened
From a sleep that made him rest
As he has regained his vigour
He will put you to the test
You will have to act real courteous
While your heart with envy sears
And you must control your anger
Maybe even hide your tears
Your endurance will be torture
For it lacks good sentiment
There’s no will or

The Green-Eyed Monster
The green-eyed monster has just peeped
His eyes around that corner
The look he gave so dark and deep
As if he meant to warn her
That some things are best left unsaid
That some are best left put to bed.
To visit once or twice maybe?
No harm in that she could not see
But harm once done to jealous eyes
Will creep

Revenge of the Green Eyed Monster For Contest
I am a real life green-eyed monster
For I was born with green eyes
I try to keep the monster at bay
But sometimes she rears her ugly head
It’s something I’ll always have to live with
My first memory of the monster appearing…
Well I guess I was about five years old
Mum would give us our pocket money
You were

Green Eyed Monster
There’s a green eyed monster over there
Sitting stubborn upon a chair
Watching every move I make
He’s waiting till I make a mistake
But jealousy will get him know where
I do what I want and do what I dare
He can look and he can stare
He won’t be stopped if he starts to flare
So he’ll have to learn to

Green-Eyed Monster
Last year you were looking as good friends
yet today i feel that you're bringing up troubles
a baby with a green eye
was born in japan
grown up in your mind
feeding of your dark side
tell me why the hate
is taking up your smile
why don't you just offer him a flower
of a yellow color
you can't take away what

Green Eyed Monster
Hent my heart from wandering concepts of affection.
Recant the murmurs of insecurity that riddled my temple.
Like a slow wound toy awaiting release from a child's grasp and attention.
Toss and birl, whipsawed into the oblivion of life's gamble.
Take away this wretched knife in my side.
A knife that twist with every incantation.
Those bastards! Jackanapes! Stirring in the

I had some extra green paint
Oh what can I do to make her faint
So a dabbed a bit down below
When in the room she came for a blow
I yelled
Green-eyed monster is waiting to show
She fainted
