Envy Ends In Despair
Envy others of
their
assets and wealth
Driven yourself into a
world of lies
Don‘t look back
You will never have enough
Envy others of
their pride and strength
Devoured yourself into a
world of bloody feast
Don’t look back
You will never have enough
Envy others of
their status and happiness
Flooded yourself into a
world of eternal thoughts
Don’t look back
You will never have enough
Envy others of
their peace and harmony
Brought yourself into a
world of endless hope and journey
Don‘t look back
You will never have enough
Envy is the
point of
self destruction
Don’t look back
You will never have enough
It’ll all end up in despair
to a point of
no return
My little
envy
one

The repetition works well … this poem doesn’t need the faded colors, it stand strong on its own. The colors of the letters distracts from this jewel … The photo is very interesting, and the best thing about it is, this poem can stand alone without it.
The pic is fabulous,the color in the wordings are truly wonderful.The words are POWERFUL!!
Envy is truly a dangerous foe!It eats you up and leave nothing behind but a sour taste in your being.
Great write!

indeed envy brings destruction. there will never be enough. bliss comes from gratitude. a grateful heart is the key to real, long-lasting happiness.
