Envy
By Shani Jonas
It's a terrible thing
Like something is climbing from your gut
And ready
Ready to explode
Envy is the black dark hole that many are ****** into
Dragged away to a place of no return
Envy is stuck In your throat
A big gulp your can't get down
When you see someone accomplishing their dreams
When you're not
To see someone get something get something
That rightfully belongs to you
To see the loving comments of their adoring fans,
When you can barely get applauded
When they reach the big time
Your out in the cold.
All alone
Vulnerable.
And people walk by and pity you
Or spit at you like Bob Ewell in disgust
If only, if only you had gotten your chance back then...
That my friend, is envy.
