Close the door, Firmly shut, Hear it click, Locked away. Pretend I'm not here, I'm nowhere, For I'm not where I want to be So I may as well be nowhere. I can hear them outside, Talking, Laughing, Love, Happiness, it's never been so Heartbreaking. My heart is filled with joy for them Yet yearns for the joy I'm missing. Disappointment consumes me for my eyes Are not supposed to be green. Never have I felt so happy for someone And sorry for myself.

The Green Eyed Monster has a Heart
Close the door, Firmly shut, Hear it click, Locked away. Pretend I'm not here, I'm nowhere, For I'm not where I want to be So I may as well be nowhere. I can hear them outside, Talking, Laughing, Love, Happiness, it's never been so Heartbreaking. My heart is filled with joy for them Yet yearns for the joy I'm missing. Disappointment consumes me for my eyes Are not supposed to be green. Never have I felt so happy for someone And sorry for myself.
When you're happy for others but feel sorry for yourself, even though you've no reason to because you're truly blessed you just tend to forget! Or choose to focus on the negative.
