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.
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.
