Jealousy

  

I might be toxic, just as it is 

I get jealous of the simplest things to exist 

maybe It's a special quality of me others missed  

Let me tell you about it real quick

Jealous of how the wind is swift 

How it's unbothered of anything,doing what it likes 

Jealous of the patience of the hills 

Staying calm in a place without complaints 

Jealous of how clouds float in the sky

Moving where wind directs, carefree of what passes by 

Jealous of how the sun is sincere towards its work 

Coming every day to light up our world without getting bored 

Jealous of the way the ground is humble to everyone 

Lets everyone walk on itself, doesn't ask for credit, gets its work done 

Jealous of the way the moon copies the sun's light perfectly

Reflecting it back at night when the sun's busy otherwise 

Jealous of the way candle sacrifices itself 

Bringing brightness to us burning on its own

Jealous of the flower that decides to stay happy 

Despite of its short span of life 

Jealous of the way seasons gets their roles done

Taking turn when they're supposed to in certain places

Jealous of the way river is determined.

It keeps moving till it reaches it destination

Jealous of the way trees provide shelter to strangers 

Given with food and also firewood from its own body

Jealous of the way ants are thoughtful 

Thoughtful about winter, working hard during summer 

I hope someday I could be as swift as the blowing wind

Patient as the still hills, carefree as the floating clouds

Consistent as the sincere sun, humble as the ground 

Calm as the moon and kind as a candle 

Cheerful as a flower and helpful as seasons 

Determined as the river and generous as a tree 

I wish I could be as thoughtful as ants
