Venenatum

Jealousy, a darkness that spreads From the heart to the soul's deepest threads Visible even to the blind, it's true A relentless urge to outdo, to pull others through Using them as ladders to climb to the top Born and raised in the heart, embedded in the soul Cruel enough to tear friends and families apart Leaving behind a trail of dirt and cruelty to unfold It lurks among us, hiding in plain sight Masquerading as hatred, even without a fight Faces pale with envy when others achieve great things Why not celebrate with them? Why feel entitled to everything? Let go of that burden, it's slowly killing your humor Deteriorating your self-esteem, yet you still harbor it Wake up before the dark cloud of jealousy consumes your soul
