Envy's Whisper
Your life seems perfect, so complete,
In your shoes, life must be sweet.

Maybe one day, I'll achieve,
And leave envy to believe.
About Someone
Green-Eyed Muse
Looking at your life so grand,
Wishing I could hold your hand.
Envy fills my heart with green,
Wishing for the sights you've seen.
But through envy, I aspire,
To build a life, to climb higher.
Maybe one day, I'll be free,
From the envy haunting me.
About Someone
Green-Eyed Muse
In the shadows of your light,
I stand, consumed by envy's bite.

Each step you take, each triumph bold,
Turns my heart to jealousy's cold.
Yet in your glory, I find my drive,
To reach higher, to strive.
Though envy shades my view,
Your path inspires me anew.
From the shadows, I aim to rise,
To chase my dreams, beyond the skies.
