..just a message to those who always seem to want what others have
Big or Small they seem to want it all. Especially what I need but never had felt brave enough to fight all the wanters off long enough to WANT.

My jealousy may be outdated

And perceptions overrated

But you see for far to long I was silent

A liar , denying the possibilities

Ignoring my right to be

Not last in line

You are my bag of chips I gave away

My brand new dress for Christmas day

You are my song I never heard

Each times she’d shout out like a turd (sorry only rhyming word available)

You are the emptiness inside

The place now I can run and hide

You are a meaning I never got

And the walls that fall , not ever taught

So no I won’t just let you go

Not ever because this I know

No matter who or what here they ever see

They need to take it away from me

I gave, yes often with a smile

But cried inside knowing all the while

I don’t always deserve second best

To keep the bad and give the rest

This time I won’t let them win

Because letting go has been my greatest sin

You have expressed well in this poem.I love the matter -of-fact tones so vividly shouted. It was a delight to read it!

“Nice guys finish last.” It is a shame that too often giving people are hurt by insensitive and selfish people. I relate well to your poem. Sometimes it feels good to rub it in their faces.
