Jealousy

By voice of reason

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Jealousy causes so much misery! It always seems that others have it better than me. Popularity! How sweet it would be to have everyone love ME. I wish… When I blow out the candles I wish upon a star But no matter how much I wish I'm still not popular. When I die, my epitaph will be Here lies ? Who the hell was he?Only the lonely know the way I feel tonight. Only the lonely know this feeling ain't right. ~Roy Orbison~ Don't know how to deal with the problem of jealousy.  I'm jealous when a friend likes another friend and spends time with them instead of me.  I'm jealous when someone writes a better poem than me and gets a lot of applause.  I'm jealous when I see people who look better than me. Jealousy is a curse.  Anyone who has never felt jealous should consider themselves blessed.  People don't often admit that they are jealous.  I do.  Good trait--honesty.  Bad trait--jealousy. I will be jealous of the person who wins this contest if it isn't me. Written December 31st, 2001 © on Dec 30 2001 06:11 PM PST   0 • 18 • 1
