Jealousy rears its ugly head
A ram-like creature with two horns
Disbelief & Dissatisfaction
One hits you straight in the spine
Crumpling & crumbling your security & stature
The central column & core of your life
Can fall out of alignment after just one bump
One horn goes right above the posterior
And makes you go “But, but, but, but…”
“But why can’t I have that?”
“But I guess they’re better than me..”
“But it’s just not fair!”
“But I just wish I had more.”
An ugly head, an ugly head indeed
Half-ram, half-ostrich, half-demon
Always overstepping its bounds
Jealousy spends most of its life in hiding
Finding a hole & diving in
Making a mess & leaving its mark
When it finally shows up once again
To rear its ugly head
You realize it never left
