Envy and Aspirations
It must be nice to be intelligent -
And have many a clever thought.
And also to have endless skills,
And remember all you have been taught.
It must be nice to solve all problems -
Whether simple or complex.
And to have a brain full of knowledge,
Which you've learnt from your subjects.
It is must be nice to be envied
For having lots of special talents,
And for completing different cha...

Comparison...
Comparison,
With anyone,
Always,
Gives birth to,
Envy,
Envy leads to Anger,
And when Anger subsides,
Fear overtakes,
Fear of Failure,
Ruining your Life.
So,
Never let them compare you,
For you are unique,
In your own special way,
Cherish your Talents,
Do what brings you Joy,
The most, Moreover,
It's all about You,
So why not compare
Yourself...

Morning People
All my life
I’ve been enthralled
by the magic
and the mystique
of morning people
Morning people
with their exercise
and croissant
with their coffee cups
and yoga
Morning people
with their dew-kissed lawns
mythic sunrises
and shop shutters still rattling open
as they arrive to get a paper
Morning people
who wake, rise and stretch
without the solar flare of daylight
smashin...

Girls In Care
dust on her heart
cob-webbed her soul
weak eyes a toll of the hearts she stole
is she happy
counting the scalps?
yet mostly she scaled molehills, not Alps
easy meat, she
saw me coming
smile so sweet that chic chatter numbing
beauty's cool but
not forever
her sheen soon broke free of its tether
snug in wrinkles
a crown of wigs
her neck's...

A love endless
Years ago, I heard about a love endless
Were the times,
When love was sprouting
everywhere
Songs was inviting to fall in love
unbelievable love stories were written
The war had over
Giving passed to unexpected coming backs.
She was an adorable woman
Worthy daughter of his dedicated professor
He was a handsome man and brilliant student,
She was sweet, lovely, ...

Backache
sensitive about her body
gym doing physical jerks
I praised her endeavours
my flattery usually works
then came a stupid row
for jealousy of her friends
that fresh independence
envy ease of mind rends
my criticisms undermine
confidence to be curbed
barbed comments, digs
her self-worth disturbed
warned her shape awry
put her mind on the rack
g...

Compare Despair
A perfectly edited
Existence
Resists the truth
Of reality
All that's
Been shown
In this
Instance
Is exactly
What they
Want you
To see
As you
Scroll these
Sensational scenes
And the
Clutches of
Envy
Dig deep
Remember it's
Not all
As it
Seems
You don't
Know what
Sorrow
They keep

A Prayer for the Living
A Prayer for the Living
Pray that your living be thus:
A journey fulfilled, not forgotten,
a place for the touching of souls, not Mammon,
to freely forgive, and bear no malice,
a mind at peace, never roiling in anger -
and room to grow, not retreat or wander,
with no pangs of envy for the birds as they fly,
but to drink in the indigo boom of the waves
as they c...

Envied
With all the hope and envy in the world, I saw the most in your eyes.
You loved life but yet hated the outcome.
You loved brown eyes but yet hated what you saw in mine.
You loved me but yet hated how much you did.
You loved to hope but hated to envy -
Yet you did.

Spiteful out of envy
I am going to do something completely out of spite
i know it's bad it makes me sad it's definetley not right
It's something inside me that takes over when i'm jealous
this certian urge causes me to become rebellious
I will regret this in the future and i will be sorry
as for now i'l do it proud and not have to worry
I apologise in advanced for this
You'll find out some day
