jealousy is a poison, it is a killer
it fills people, it fills them with hatred
it attaches itself, and never lets go
it crawls into your heart and soul
and tears you apart inside and out
it makes you hurt yourself, and those around you
jealousy is something we all experience
it is something that we have to fight
it is something that hates to loose
it turns even the best people into monsters
it drives you to do the impossible
drives you to do things
you wouldn't normally do
it drives you crazy
jealousy is something we all try not to feel
it is something that no matter how much
we try to contain it, at one point or another
it is going to shine through, and take over
take over our mind and soul
turing us into rage driven sociopaths
jealousy is there, inside us all
just waiting for the perfect moment
waiting for the person, item, or object
that it will latch itself onto turning us
turning us into something we are not
turning us into greed
