Dear Jealousy

Dear Jealousy, 


You are the devil

You make me lose friends 

It’s bad on a whole ‘nother level


You make me imagine 

things that aren’t true 

It’s like you’re an assassin

Blood your target hue 


You make me clingy 

Protective and annoying 

You make me feel forgotten 

You turn my blood boiling 


If you could leave me alone 

That would be great 

Because then I could live 

Without having things deteriorate 


It’s amazing how something partnerless 

Can ruin things so breezily 

You’re literally preposterous 

I’ll never be able to live easily 


You make me envious 

Green in my eyes 

Sometimes it’s obvious 

You are satan in disguise 


Feels like you’ll never leave 

Like you’re my partner in crime 

You are my pet peeve 

You make me feel lonely all the time 


But now you are banished

Ever away from my heart

Replaced with admiration for others

Time for you to depart

I wanted to confront my jealousy problem because it really affects my life because I get clingy and annoying, but I want to turn that envy into more of a 'wow good for you.'
