The Green Eyed Monster

I am possessed by the green eyed monster

I don’t mean to be

I’m happy with my work

Honestly

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

Though I salted and locked the doors

It slipped in anyways

Perhaps while I snored.

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

It’s an insidious beast.

Admiration turns to Envy and Despair

 So it can feast.

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

It whispers lies in my ears

As I work

Until I can’t see through my own tears

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

You’re pathetic it cries

Showing me others’ work

A bit of my soul dies

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

You’re horrible at art

It laughs manically

Hurting my heart

 

I’m possessed by the green eyed monster

But now I fight back

It whispers the lies

As I ready my attack

 

I was possessed by the green eyed monster

It is a dangerous thing

But man, did I love it

When I made it scream

 

I was possessed by the green eyed monster

I may be an amateur at art

But that doesn’t matter

As long as I have heart.

 

I was possessed by the green eyed monster

Note the past tense here

I am better than that.

I have faced my fears

 

I was the possessed by the green eyed monster

It’s dead now

But it can always come back

But now I know how

To send it to the rack.

Look, I know my skill level and I know I can always improve, I have no aspirations beyond a hobby.


But, sometimes it's hard. to scroll the front page of dA and not feel a bit jealous and a bit of rage.
