Villains

it all begins with a little jealousy...

Jealousy

I'm jealous of the girl in this picture...
she's at the place I've been dreaming 
to go to for my whole life...

I'm jealous of the peace. The peace
she is feeling. The peace I've wanted
to feel for the longest time. 
I'm jealous of the view. The horizon.
The clear sky, the clear water.
I'm jealous at the fact that she is so young
and has already witnessed true beauty. 
I'm jealous of the heat that sizzles 
through the air. While the faintest breeze
blows her hair back for only a moment. 
I'm jealous that the plants are so green
and the sand is so pure.
I'm jealous that it's her in Hawaii
and not me.
