Jealous of the people before me
and how they made you feel
It's in the past, a previous life
secretly wishing they weren't real

You wouldn't be who you are now
so it doesn't make sense
but their names, experiences...somehow
they make me angry and tense

I woke up prepared for an interview I knew would occur
I passed the interview,
Got a good response,
The incentive of good pay,
And a promise of emails to further the process along

I told my brother
He wasn't happy for me

I'm going to tell my dad
He'll be happy for me

I'm going to tell my friend
They'll be happy for me

I wish I could tell my mom
But she's dead

But if she were alive
I know she'd be happy for me
It's nice to be happy

Everyone wants what they cannot have at times
That pang in your chest
One to detest
There of pure longing

The feeling when you know
That ship will never set sail
At least for you
Though others board with ease
to make memories
Out there on the seas

But not you
You’re stuck where you are
Not to move
Even if you wanted to

You get used to it eventually
Though it always hurts
To know you cannot do
Go nor be
What you want most

though
If we can’t accept this
We live stuck in fantasy
Thinking on and dreaming
Of what we ought to be

Living life inside a lie
That you spun yourself
Stuck inside a box
That you, who into it climbed

Please don’t be silly
Don’t be a fool
Like every person out there
Who’s ever wanted more
Tried to even up the score
With a sense of longing
That they could not endure

They’ll just sit there laughing
Thinking that they’ve won
they’re shrouded in delusions
unable to see
They get nicked and cracked
But pay it no mind
Never considered the fact that they
Were beaten more than thought
And they’ll never know they’ve shattered
Till they see the glass
I haven't been on here for a while so i'll be putting a lot of my best stuff from more recently

This pit of jealousy has grown too deep.
I lash out at the walls but i only hurt myself in the process,
and as i sink lower, deeper;
I feel my friends stand on rising mountains.
my childhood was so sheltered i’ve grown behind everyone else in many things, and it seems everyone thinks me a toddler because of it.

why is it always
her you find yourself wanting
when I’m not around

She had two lovers-
the sun and the moon who fought
so hard for her heart

SOLIDARITY

When men
Units it's
solidarity and
no goal is
too huge
to achieve.
But destruction
upon a city
of men
where hatred,
jealousy, envy
and resentments
reign. Love heal the world.

“Is it real when your mouth is on mine?
Do we share a heart when our bodies align?”
Thoughts are frantic in jealousy, torment,
As I savour this fleeting soft moment…
can't help but wonder
