Jealousy

Suzanne Mondoux · 1 June 2020

Watch out for those thorns you put in your side Carry your wounds in your back pocket They are your own, and no others This was the making of your own jealousy You rose and then you fell, all to sudden

You watched as others got to where you wanted to be Enraged with jealousy you stumbled and fell The change was too much to bear In a jealous fit you sought revenge That day you rose to nothing

You saw the world as mad and unfair Jealousy is your friend and comfort today, and for days to come Jealousy is your companion to all that will fall around you You need a break from yourself to get out of your own way Free yourself from this jealousy and see it for what it is

Hmm, is that what you see Your fear, your inner sadness to what you’ve created in your world Take a breath, be your own way to where you want to be in this moment Light up your own life, free from all jealousy Jealousy is your friend today, use it wisely

It’s a fine line you walk in the midst of this jealous endeavour Taken away from what you believe Better yet, go where there is knowing, bask in the comfort of knowing Jealousy is your friend in this, feel the contrast You can choose wisely, only by feeling

Jealousy is your friend if you choose wisely Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm, now what do you see Hmm, now what do you feel
