This is a poem of a woman who deals everyday with her own worst enemy called jealousy. |
| It creeps upon me like a stranger. In reality, it is no friend yet disguised. It eats at me slowly at first, like I am the prey it has been stalking me. I never know when it attacks, a true predator it hides, waiting to strike. My smile begins to turn to anger, and I suspicion even the wind. I begin to hunt for evil and wrong. I am being chewed from inside out, until I satisfy this burning desire the prowl, longing and looking around every corner, pocket, and door. This power that it gives me....... I Am Almighty! Tough, fighting against what's right, twisting what is wrong. Then I awake at night in cold sweats. I weep and I cry for it is killing me slowly. It has left me alone and scared. Alienated by my true love, now I stand alone. It's name is Jealousy! |
