JEALOUSY

This is how I define jealousy

JEALOUSY

By Bonnie Davis

 

Give me back my soul.

The one that Jealousy ate up,

reducing my very essence

to a hollowed out void

lingering in nothingness,

longing for somethingness.

And yet...

 

The bloody redness of its anger

paralyzed the freedom I once had

to want to be Me.

The greenness of its envy

Choked my creativeness

then regressed and retarded

my best days, my best ways.

And yes..

 

Yellow streaks of cowardice

covered up my uniqueness

and dried out the freshness of my meekness.

It hid me behind who I WANTED to be

and all that I should have received

when good wasn’t good enough.

 

Perception morphed into a strange black gargoyle

proud, loud, and rowdy on my weaker shoulder.

It walked my vexation into a dark abyss.

The sunshine of Favor’s energy has alluded and avoided me.

 

I’m white with frustration,

In sync with damnation.

Now one with my frenemy,

ol’ dirty, stinkin’ Jealousy.

My bones have rotted.

 

Truth is no longer viable,

I dare not trust Intellect,

She’s just too busy to be reliable.

My sensitivity is unstable and

My damn conscience…

certifiable.

 

The time has come for my whole being

To rise up and assassinate my rival;

for the Jealousy Dragon

has murdered my soul.
