Each Wednesday in my Facebook writing group, we do Poetry Prompts. I wanted to start sharing them here as well.

The prompt for this Wednesday: Write a Poem About Jealously. 


Jealousy

It boils up in me.
Ready to explode
My heart races and
These thoughts come to me
Making me questions it all.

Jealousy, it's a raging fire.
Jealousy, tearing my heart out.
Jealousy, and I can’t see
Jealousy, Jealousy

I’m ready to explode,
Ready to infinite
The fire building in me.

I can’t think of anything
It doesn't make sense
This feeling inside of me
Making me question,
Making me fear.

Jealousy, it's a raging fire.
Jealousy, tearing my heart out.
Jealousy, and I can’t see
Jealousy, Jealousy

Jealously

I wish you spent time with me.
I wish mine as just as good as theirs.
Is there something wrong with me?
Is this what jealousy looks like?

Why is it hidden?
Hidden away so I would never know.
Should I forget, forget seeing it?
Or just accept that I am not good enough?

The Monster Rises

The Monster Rises
A monster rises up in my soul.
It grows and screams as it infects my heart.
Like a virus, it spreads.
It corrupts as it disseminates.
 
Be happy for them, a small meal voice whispers to me.
 
The monster shrieks!
 
Where were they when it was your turn?
Where were their praises and support?
Why did they pick her and not you?
How can they support him and not you?
 
Be happy for your friend.
Don’t sour their victory with frets of your own.
 
The monster bellows from within.
 
Its voice rattles my bones.
I try to hide it but it's the monster wails on.
 
I cover my ears blocking it out.
The small timid voice I hear calling out to me.
 
Be happy for your friend
Show them support
Do not let this monstrous nature eat away at your soul.
 
It will leave you in bleak darkness with a hole in your heart.
Fight this creature and be whole.
 
I sit with my hands over my ears fighting this monster from within.
