Lime green envy. Residing in me. I understand it’s ugly. Imprisoning me. In my own insecurities. Constantly believing I’m unworthy. Unworthy to be happy. Unworthy of education. Unworthy of you. And then I see you chatting up my friends. And I’m engulfed in this, Lime green envy. It’s all consuming. Taking over my rationality. Becoming a hulkish version of myself. And It’s certainly isn’t incredible. I know I shouldn’t worry. I know you care about me. But I can’t help but to fall, In this vat of chemicals containing envy. Turning me into something of a villain. And ironically, I’m my own greatest enemy. And ironically, I’m pushing you away. With all this, Lime green envy. Residing in me. And I understand it’s ugly. Imprisoning me. In my own insecurities. Constantly believing I’m unworthy. Unworthy to be happy. Unworthy of education. Unworthy of you. And I can try to blame my past, My family or friends or even you. But I know that I’m truly the one to blame. For no one is forcing me to treat you all so badly. It’s a choice that I make. And I have to deal with my actions. Whether positive or negative. I decide to either be the successor or the victim. So, I’m sorry. Sorry that I’ve let this lime green envy consume me.

Lime Green Envy
Lime green envy. Residing in me. I understand it’s ugly. Imprisoning me. In my own insecurities. Constantly believing I’m unworthy. Unworthy to be happy. Unworthy of education. Unworthy of you. And then I see you chatting up my friends. And I’m engulfed in this, Lime green envy. It’s all consuming. Taking over my rationality. Becoming a hulkish version of myself. And It’s certainly isn’t incredible. I know I shouldn’t worry. I know you care about me. But I can’t help but to fall, In this vat of chemicals containing envy. Turning me into something of a villain. And ironically, I’m my own greatest enemy. And ironically, I’m pushing you away. With all this, Lime green envy. Residing in me. And I understand it’s ugly. Imprisoning me. In my own insecurities. Constantly believing I’m unworthy. Unworthy to be happy. Unworthy of education. Unworthy of you. And I can try to blame my past, My family or friends or even you. But I know that I’m truly the one to blame. For no one is forcing me to treat you all so badly. It’s a choice that I make. And I have to deal with my actions. Whether positive or negative. I decide to either be the successor or the victim. So, I’m sorry. Sorry that I’ve let this lime green envy consume me.
