The Battle With Jealousy

It has happened again

Ladies and gentlemen:

Jealousy has reared its ugly head.

This disease will spread

As many of you know

With you as you grow.

Yes, it is a fact of living

While with all of life's giving

That we are never completely happy.

We always want more and we always feel ******

With the way that our wonderful lives turned out.

And even then we are taken over by and made to pout.

If we feel we are neglected

By the people we solely have elected

To be in our precious lives as friends

We guilt them till they break and bend

Into the perfect puppet doll we've always cherished.

If we cannot turn them into voodoo dolls, the friendship is perished.

So in all of this please take away this note:

If you feel I have not been a good enough friend because I will not dote

Upon you every day of the week,

Remember that you're not the only one who can speak.

Others live and breathe the same air you do

They also get my attention just like you too.

It may have been weeks, it may have been years

Since we last saw each other and this may play on your fears.

But just always remember there's only 24 hours in a day

And with work, family and sleep in the way

Time is fairly limited to spend frolicking around

But getting mad at me is not a very sound

Way of getting my attention to come see you.

O and also remember, you know how to walk too!
