The green eyed monster.

Jelousy - Such an evil emotion.

I want what you have,
That Great hair,
I stop and stare.
A Slim build,
I watch you run on the field.

A stunning smile,
I look at you for a while.
Big beautiful eyes,
Only I can see the tears you cry.

 

I want what they have,

The warm hugs,

I watch as my heart string tugs.
Hands entwined together,
I see their love always forever.
His arm around her shoulder,
My heart feels so much colder.
She tells him she loves him,
My love life looks so dim.

 

I want what I have,
I have what I have.
A novel that i wrote,
When I cry the lump I get in my throat.
My naturally curly hair,
The random clothes that I wear.
My secret identity dreams,
The grades I finally redeemed.
One day I will accept myself,
No longer will i be sitting on the shelf.

I think a lot of young people, especially people in school - or out of school - can relate to this poem; when the see others that have a certain thing that haven't aquired yet, such as, like, love for instance. And that, I can relate to. I see my friends having a lovely time with their girlfriends, telling me stories about what they've been up to, where they went together; I'm happy for them, truly, but I always feel a little saddened that I seem to always be the single one in the group, so I know how it feels, looking at someone else in that way. It was very touching and a lovely poem to read.

You expressed your emotions in a strong way. Everyone experiences jealousy; the real question is trying to fight through it to find peace. Great job!

I really enjoyed reading this. It was easy to follow and relatable. Awesome title and picture too.
