Jealous

I was really born with green eyes They resemble emeralds But it seems the biggest green eye I have is the eye of jealousy I see beautiful people doing beautiful things Making art, making jewelry, getting photographed All while getting paid to do what they love Half of me wants to be happy for them but the darker half gets glowing green eyes My biggest dream is to do what I love while supporting myself and my loved ones Yet people as young as my age are already doing it, and have been for all of their life Makes my soul wary and weak and just want to sleep I'm so jealous of all of you
