Jealous Soul

In the Shadows of Envy

Within the depths of a troubled heart,
A jealous soul finds its fateful start.
Ensnared in a web of envy's embrace,
Its presence taints each cherished space.

Like a venomous snake, it coils and hisses,
Feeding on insecurities, the soul it kisses.
In shadows it lurks, its eyes filled with spite,
Casting shadows over love's radiant light.

Oh, jealous soul, your heartache profound,
Why must you let envy's whispers resound?
For in your own torment, you fail to see,
The beauty that lies in each destiny.

You yearn for treasures others possess,
Blinded by bitterness, you cannot confess,
That the gifts bestowed upon your fellow man,
Are not meant to diminish your own life's plan.

The bloom of a rose, so delicate and fair,
Does not tarnish another, its fragrance to share.
Yet, your heart cannot fathom such grace,
As you drown in the currents of a jealous chase.

In the quiet hours of a moonlit night,
Take heed, dear soul, and seek inner light.
Release the chains that bind you so tight,
And let your spirit soar to limitless height.

For envy's grip is but a self-made snare,
That suffocates dreams and joy beyond compare.
Embrace the beauty in each unique tale,
And jealousy's darkness will surely pale.

Embrace the gifts that make your heart whole,
And free yourself from the chains of a jealous soul.
For in love and acceptance, true peace you'll find,
And leave your bitter envy far behind.

So let jealousy wither, like leaves in the fall,
And rise above the shadows that silently crawl.
Embrace compassion, let kindness unfold,
And discover the treasures of a heart made bold.

In the tapestry of life, let jealousy cease,
And surrender your soul to a state of peace.
For in the embrace of love's eternal embrace,
A jealous soul finds solace and grace.
