Jealousy



Jealousy is just like a devil,
which creeps into our mind ,
making us cruel ,
with a wicked mind inside.

With an outer appearence so bright,
but a hollow inside,
the jealous eyes cannot bear,
any happy sight.

When others feel happy,
their heart cries,
the devil inside them,
makes them weep.

But why are we jealous?
what makes us jealous?
are we not satisfied?
or others relief makes us sad?

Jealousy is just like a devil,
which creeps into our mind ,
making us cruel ,
with a wicked mind inside.
