Jealousy creeps in, a shadowy guest, Turning calm hearts into a contest. I wish I knew what I did That left them so unimpressed Evny is not something I want to feel But sometimes it feels that envy will help me heal, heal from reality, heal from the truth But envy’s comfort is sharp and brief, It masks my wounds but deepens grief. I chase illusions, hoping to find A peace that envy leaves behind. Though jealous thoughts may cloud my view, I long to see the world renewed To let go of longing, to simply be, And find a gentler peace in me.

Jealousy.
Summer is not a season summer is a way Summer is the one time of year that we really have a reason Summer is not a season the smell of the salty air sand on feet salt and sand in hair the natural waves that the beach forms The one time of year, nothing matters Sleep doesn't matter As we stay up all night, never at our own house The one time of year that actually matters the smell of sea salt in the air the one time of year nobody cares what you wear
