Jealous

by @pernille-augustson

I'm jealous of who you used to kiss, Wonder how many you've been with I'm jealous of who you might look at, When I'm not there with you... I'm jealous you'll see, That I'm not good enough for you, I'm not even good enough for me... Maybe you'll then leave me, Alone and broken in half... I'm jealous of everyone I find better than me, Scared I'll never even compare I'm jealous of girls with confidence, Something I've lacked from the start I'm jealous of those fearless girls, Because I'm filled up with fear I'm jealous of their success, Because I'm still way behind, Where I really want to be... I don't hate them for it, I believe they deserve all the good they can get I'm not jealous and hateful, I'm jealous and sad, Jealous and scared, Jealous and hopeless Jealous of the life I want, That I'm so far from Jealous of it all, But still stuck to the ground Jealous and jealous I'm simply jealous... Will I ever be pleased? Will I ever be proud? Will I ever get my success?
