Envy

Speak your envies out loud,
You'll see how quickly they disappear,
For in the realm of reality,
They seem half as dear,

For in the mind they breed no comparison,
Only unidirectional desire,
While in the world, every eye's upon it,
And so, everyone's critical pyre,

And everyone else's envy of you.
Don't pretend that you don't suspect it?
Of course it disappears as soon as it's stated,
So, just keep it your little secret.

And it's alright,
It's good to desire the traits of others.
It shows a wish to better yourself,
Something many people don't even bother.
