Self Jealousy
Really?
Do you turn away from truth
because of who you may become?
Do you hate the future you
because he owns exactly what you want?
Do you shroud yourself in lies
because the you right now is wrong?
You are jealous of the truth-filled you!
You have been all along!
So you killed him at his very source
without care for what you’ve done!
Do you neglect your sleep
because you’re jealous of tomorrow's you?
Because he’s full of energy
and vigour like a man anew?
Tomorrow he’s a wreck
because of what you wouldn't do!
You put a weight around his neck!
And now that man is just like you!
Do you neglect your training
because it means right now that you are weak?
Do you ignore the mountain
because it reminds you you’re not at its peak?
Are you avoiding others
because you won’t admit you’re all alone?
Do you stare in awe at all of those who've grown?
Yet you postpone!
He is not who you’re becoming!
You’re a victim of this fallacy!
And for him, you dare allow jealousy!
Heresy! You really think he isn't you!
And so you make it so!
This feeling isn’t fresh or new!
Shame! You make sure better isn’t you!
