Seven Sins: Envy
May 11, 2012
7 sins together in glee
Out of them, one who is me
Envy’s eyes stare into my soul
And whispers things I rather not have heard
“Look at her” she whispers in too sweet tones
“Her beauty and charm outmatches yours.”
With Envy’s power, she clutches my soul
And in my eyes, I see her grow
Looking in the mirror
I stare at my face
Holding my hands in helpless fists
Envy sits beside me and smirks
“Beauty is clearly not a gift you have received.”
So I shut my eyes and wish with hope
That beauty will flourish and get rid of this voice
