This is a poem of a woman who deals everyday with her own worst enemy called jealousy.
It creeps upon me like a stranger.
In reality, it is no friend yet disguised.
It eats at me slowly at first,
like I am the prey it has been stalking me.
I never know when it attacks,
a true predator it hides, waiting to strike.
My smile begins to turn to anger,
and I suspicion even the wind.
I begin to hunt for evil and wrong.
I am being chewed from inside out,
until I satisfy this burning desire
the prowl, longing and looking
around every corner, pocket, and door.
This power that it gives me.......
I Am Almighty!
Tough, fighting against what's right,
twisting what is wrong.
Then I awake at night in cold sweats.
I weep and I cry for it is killing me slowly.
It has left me alone and scared.
Alienated by my true love, now I stand alone.
It's name is Jealousy!
