My parents raised me in a competitive household
They said, "To us Zentzs, everything is a competition."
And so I went about my life doing just that:
competing

Poem by: The Poetic Truth Productions By Nini
She was innocent
But yet she was found guilty
Devoted to making society a better place,
What is Jealousy ? Jealousy is a monster it grabs ahold of you and controls your thinking What causes Jealousy? Lack of self confidence Poor self image Fear and insecurity How to deal with Jealousy? Build your self-confidence Fix your mental an
Blossoming remorseSage scented liesBlank minds begging to be divorced from themselvesDiscouraged by the aroma of the room.
You sap my life of joy, Rival,
With those words of doubt.
I love and you can't, Rival
And drive affections out.
All the smiles
all the laughs
All the good times you have together
Each one of them lasts
In my memory
Downloaded from a screen
and it hurts so much to see them
Be it a single lumen or roaring bonfire, my feelings for him burn purple; Pink (love) + Blue (lust).
There is no denying it, she was first
I imagine her next to you, your arm wrapped around her
As it had once been wrapped around me
Sometimes I wish I were a less kind soul
You think no one tells me,
You think I'll never see,
You think I don't have a silent plea,
Imagine waking up early and feeling all happy
Then by nine pm, you've got all snappy
The girl you loved is now a whore
And you're one wrong word from a hole in the wall
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass,
For jealousy leads to hate.
But damn, she has such a nice, fat ass,
And everything else she has is great.
To all my friends,
I am quite jealous.
To all my enemies,
I am quite jealous.
For you, in contrast of me,
have a "best" friend you see,
who seems to make you quite zealous.
I will never mean as much to you as she does
And everytime I think of that my heart breaks to pieces
I haven't ever threatened to leave like she does
Or hope you hate yourself like she does
Everything is Everything,
My hand possesses no wedding ring,
And my mommas don't either,
But she still sings.
In the kitchen on Sunday morning,
The Monster Under Your Bed
It's 1:00am and It´s time to sleep .
The green eyes lurking under your bed.
She scans him
She talks about him
She gets to his hair
And his eyes
And his lips
But looks at them
Like they're
Her hair
And her eyes
And her lips
She's so greedy
my throat chokes on the green ivy erupting from my esophagusas I watch you all walk by with ease,as if life is such as breeze,as if you have no cares, no worries,no more fucks to give
The old farm stood alone and still.
A car made gravel fly.
Elise braked and shut the door.
“I’m wrecked, why even try?”
Odd as it seems, I don’t remember where I was.
I just remember my sister wanting to cuss
I wish you talked about me
the way you talk about him.
You float through thoughts of him
while I drown in thoughts of you.
Your aching lungs are full again
and you swear you found your breath
I love him
His beautiful smile
His cerulean blue eyes
His midnight hair.
He loves me
My blank face
My dirty blonde hair
My emotionless brown eyes.
He loves him
That bloody red head
Do not assume I am in love with you.
Do not think that my hands clenching the front of your shirt in tight fists,
are clenched tight with the desire to pull you close.
My hands are holding you because you are here.
I wish I was as talented as you
I wish I could act like you
I wish I could use my fire, my desire, to fuel myself like you
I'm not as creative as you
Let me tell you where I'm at
Here at night supposedly alone,
Listening to songs that make me feel whole.
However there is Disappointment,
Self hate and his sister Anxiety,
All of them sleeping over.
I’m really missing you today
I feel as if I have been watching your life through glass windows
Perhaps it is the distance that is driving me towards insanity
I have been in lust,
jealousy
pain
anger
depression
confusion,
but never have I been in love.
Darkness envelops me from that speck of light that I aimed to reach for
Parents didn't believe in my depression and marked it off as "wants for attention"
i see the way you look at her,
like life your depended on it,
like you would take your last breath if she was extinct,
i see the way you look at her,
And wish that i could be in her shoes,
A blissful creature dwells evidently,
For good,
Hoping its jealous killer's lost mind never opens portals,
Quietly, reveling sufficient treasures.
And in the end we were
Better off without each other.
My epiphany about my
Unhappiness while i was with
You, caused me to see it so.
You're golden girl! They have yet to know your worh, just show them girl!
Show them you award winning smile. Smile every time you see them, hide that pain long as a mile.
Of Kids & Nations
A little boy was asked
To try to surpass
The kid in front of him.
Though my stars be dark and my spirit black
It is not without reason that you find this lack
Of empathy, pity, mercy, or care
For others of similar gare.
My stars were darkened by the sun
i can already see a crown on her head
everyone loves her
even that physics teacher who hates everyone
gives her a smile when she walks in
i sit at the back of the class
and hate her
Jealousy is the ugliest trait
People with jealousy problems
Have self esteem issues;
I gotta try putting myself in their shoes
I know its not always about me
I have to get a definant reality check
Always looked out never inside in,
Always overcome with jealousy,
Always suicidal with envy.
I couldn't see me for me,
I had to dream to feel free,
And it took me years to realize,
n the end, it’s all paybackYou take one step forward but two backIn your mind you can play it backBut you made your move, you can’t take it back.
My eyes can see like a hawk, my ears hear like a hound
I can see that there is no more us, I can hear this heart breaking sound
I'm looking in on a life that's not mine
Its not even a nine
You got me jealous
Acting all over zealous
You're far from perfect as can be seen by your life
She always had that green eye
No one ever knew why
Only took her a second to lie
Oh you know she was slicker than sly
Did whatever she could to reach the top
She couldnt be stopped
I had a man who sang me songs,each strum on his guitar echoedin my mind each night before Islept in coral reefs, how hebelieved my hair was a silvermoon melting within water.
sometimes I can't say what's in my head
but all I know now
is that your very words are like music to my pitiful ears
and I can almost feel my heart beating when I'm with you.
almost.
Do not show jealousy in the light of a mischievous mirror
For that same mirror will glare back at you in madness.
I'm on the airport and they put on Thor 2.
And as I looked up and watched it,
I thought so much of you.
I look to the right and instead of you I see my mother.
And I remember your smile so perfectly.
There's a monster.
It doesn't live under my bed,
Or make the floorboards creak at night.
It doesn't tap at the window,
Or make eerie sounds.
It doesn't cast shadows on the wall,
Or grope at my throat.
Jealousy is the enemy
That get into me
That cause anger . Pain. And envy
Makes you feel so empty to the world
Trying to Live life in the world
But stuck in an underworld
Trapped by your heart
Step step run . Someone's trying to pull the trigger of the gun. Trying to shot your happiness and joy.
The gun of jealousness. The gun of hate
The gun that trys to ruin your fate.. but if you turn around and try to ignore it
Some say that bitterness is what broke you,
and ripped your seams apart.
But whatever it was that consumed you,
longing is what lies inside your heart.
A longing to be better, is the single thread that binds you.
I follow as a poison-tipped arrow would,
tracking the heels of Achilles,
honing in on a weakness you were
powerless to prevent
my path is one of
greed,
hunger,
thoughtless self
Ten feet deep in eternal sleep
Fell from a cliff with the rest of the snow white sheep
I look up in envy of the black one who doesn't weep
Lying in this red valley
My body, blood, and soul
Is it's
I am sorry,
I am a slut.
I dream for what I do not have.
I crave his touch if only for a second.
For his attention to get off of you and on to me.
Why was I so afraid of there
being other girls in his life?
Because I wanted I wanted to be number one
in his eyes
But that,
wasn't up to me to decide
Seventeen
Im done
Im sick and tired
Of your shun
Its icy
Blizzardly
My price
Is misery
I suffice.
Im sick
Im done.
Youre not the only one.
My head, it hurts
Jealousy is a disease,
Eating away all uniqueness;
Distorting the beautiful image starring back.
An unholy attraction,
That leaves me torn apart at the seams.
Each word, each glance,
Slowly shreds the delicate stitching,
Holding me together.
She watches gladly as the curtains fallCheers happ’ly when they rise again to showConfetti litters wooden floor like snowThe leader stands in front to watch them all.She cups her hands in hopes they’ll hear her call:
Yo dad
You remember signing my birth certificate?
I bet you were so glad
What about when I first got my ears pierced
You remember right
You were there when I shed those tears
Can a love be forever binding?
To return when others cripple
As thought of extraneous suitors sour.
Relic of the time that has tick tocked,
Souvenir of the heart's gift shop,
You confront me with your fears and all your selfish desires
But have you ever thought that your obstacles or hurdles you've compiled?
You never lifted a finger or even got off your ass
It puts men to their knees,
Powered by rage and blinding love
Even the greatest will wither and hide
Entering their own soul’s hell of irreversible pride.
It’s hard to miss something you never really had, But that’s all part of not having a dad Don’t get me wrong, I wish he were here, But like always he’s no where near. He’d be angry to know I’ve lost all respect,
Fear
Black and cold as an evil man’s heart
Courses through the veins of all who experience the unknown
Struck like an icy hard bell in the dead of winter, cold pulse reverberating off every stone wall
Fear
I'm a statistic because of my family.I'm the derivative of a broken home.A shattered background of instability and hardship defines me.The remnants of my childhood are just bits and pieces
Is this what jealousy feels like?
I feel sick to my stomach and my head hurts
The tears threaten to force their way past the walls that I’ve built
And I feel guilty for feeling this way.
What has me?JealousyJealousy ruins Everything.
I am jealousy you bestfriend,Your ex.
How can I learn how to cope?I cope by telling you.How do you respond?Your jealous of Erica?
What has me?JealousyJealousy ruins Everything.
I am jealousy you bestfriend,Your ex.
How can I learn how to cope?I cope by telling you.How do you respond?Your jealous of Erica?
I hate how, she my bestfriend, Is your ex....Yes, I am jealousOf her.She's too prettyShe's too perfectUnlike me..
I'm not prettyI'm not perfectLike she is.
There was a strange smell that filled the earth that day
It smelled like minty green with a touch of red roses
It captured beauty in the sense of hate
I could hear it coming down into my heart
(1) Wings that soar, (2) Wings colored with beauty, (3) Wings so delicate, so fragile. (4) Wind blows setting the wings off course, (5) The wings try to fight the wind, (6) But the gentle wings lose the bat
Its like swallowing flint
To be here.
Among the talented people
The children of broken homes
Motor homes
And hill-top homes.
From the highest of life
To the lowest of lows
Poets, word weavers,
You say I lie I clearly can't remember
Everyone forgets about me in December
Friends quickly turn into enemies toward me
No one seems to be talking about anything but me
In a cruel way nothing but hidden laughs
Is it wrong of me to be jealous that you loved them first?
It’s probably silly.
I loved before you.
But, I wish I hadn’t.
I wish I had been with you all along.
We all know about
that sudden change of mood.
Somebody says something nice
but you respond with something rude.
You see something you don't like
but it's really nothing to be mad at.
Happiness
Is a bunny
Of fluffy cotton
That grows
Like water
And strives
Like a flower
Jealousy
Is the death
Of a relationship that
Is hurting from
Lack in trust
Don't hate your older sister because of the footprints she leaves.
The ones that stretch as far as you can see.
In both directions.
Don't hate her because of how miniscule, microscopic, and tiny your own foot seems.
Why can't that be me with the looks and the charm?
Friends in vast places
Skills and a swift mind
Creativity, athleticism, and all
When we first met we didn't think much
Three years of knowing each other,
we still don't think much
Little glances, soft touches
When it rains,
I am always jealous of the droplets.
The journey from the clouds,
miles above,
Cannot be the easiest one,
But they nonetheless make it down to earth
And I,
Her name is Glory.
His name is Lu.
She is the Imperator.
He is one of her elite praetorian guard.
She is love and honor incarnate.
He is the most beautiful and honorable of Glory's praetorian guard.
I lie here at night
And scream with fright
At the sight
Of the green eyed monster
In my mirror
It is my face I see
But my eyes are not me
They are green with envy
My feelings are a frenvy
Mother and Daughter, hand in hand, with love so strong, so dear,
Walk across the meadow with not a single fear.
Their hearts are joined with reverence, deep like the oceans.
Jealousy is a spiteful thing
Yet we all feel it, inside our souls, waiting to burst out oozing from a crevice deep inside
To be jealous is human an emotion that can’t be stopped
“Hey Kenley”, words spoken from soft lips,
The curve of her smile corresponds with her hips.
“Nice Tits”, I think, while they press on my chess…
During a hug, but it fades when we hear footsteps,
