Jealousy

Crack my soul and what do you see?

Nothing but rusty cogs and faulty clockwork,

Flaw after flaw am I,

Nothing but putrid sins lie among my broken cogs,

Hatred and regret oozes from my heart,

Why must I suffer from my jealous demise.

Why can't I spread my wings and let my soul harmonise?

I am no fallen angel as I have surfaced from much deeper,

Why do I feel so dark?

My inner self terrified of the demons crawling within.

He begs for my soul to rest,

So he can be led,

Into the divine light.

Hard to have a clean spirit. Sometime must accept the bad with the good.
"Hatred and regret oozes from my heart,
Why must I suffer from my jealous demise."
A very good ending. Good to know rest in a wild life. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Rest easy dear soul... Let the darkness see the light and demons be damned. Your words carry the intensity of your struggle and even though you do not know me... I have felt this, I feel this... It is a daily struggle for many. A wonderfully expressive piece. Thank you for sharing your beauty through verse.

Jealousy is Man's another enemy besides Greed because it pushes you to do something you don't really want to do. I like this poem because you put a common topic on work with your creative words, you described jealousy well and how hard it is for you to get away with it... Nice poem and good job... You have written it expressively in your own unique way which made people understand (;
