My jealousy

My jealousy I cannot hold back.

Happens to others not, yet it does to me.

Others laugh and bask in the sun 

I curl up under my covers

Five steps for a fall

One towards misery

Weak body with a weaker mind 

Fed myself with sickness and pain

Deceiving that my trying efforts aren't in vain 

Buried my face in an Angel's plumage 

While the Devil stirs inside 

My burning jealousy is caging me

When can I ever be free?
