Envious
Envy,
It burns, flaming,
Bright green in every heart.
Twinkling with hope,
Hope, that one day we'll be better.
Better, than others.
At something,
Something you've longed for ages.
Thinking, planning, re-running in your mind.
Too embarassed to suggest,
Suggest what you want to do.
Everyone's envious of someone else who wasn't too embarassed,
Wasn't too ashamed,
Was able to risk disappointment and failure.
So they could succeed at what you want.
Everyone's heart holds burning emeralds twinkling with envy.
Waiting, to get out.
And shine!
