(Note: Based on feelings of jealousy that I was having towards friends and family.)

My jealousy rains down
Spreading like disease
All Across the town
I wait for it to cease

The Stick that measures me
Grows higher and higher
Higher than a redwood tree
Feel myself tripping over many a wire

Like a bird
All to content in its cage
Though instead with so few a word
It fuels a bubbling burning acidic rage

The dragon breathes the fire
Of my worst fear
And my greatest desire
Worth less than a shed tear

I see their talents beautiful as gold
I see it as though prophecy had foretold
I see their light shining as I envy
I don't want to know what I can never be

I see hearts purer than mine
I see their clarity of mind
And I shudder
Not wanting to see I hide under cover

To be stuck I feel
By some others measure has no appeal
But the silence the slowness is torture
The last apple picked from the orchard

I would chose to be them a thousand times
In a thousand rhymes
But how do you think it'd be
If someone said that about me

By another ruler soar to new heights
Higher than the highest birds flights
Burn brighter than the brightest star
Zoom by faster than the fastest car

Leave all your envy in the dust
Before you start to rust
And fade away
Like a bug blown astray.
