A Letter to Envy

Dear Envy,

Leave me be.

I want nothing to do with thee.

There is no point to insult or groan,

When fortune is not my own.

Your words follow me from school to home

That if I am not at the top, I shall be alone.

So, envy, take your cruelty and leave me be.

This was not wanted of me.

I applaud the fortune of others and wish to be free.

Envy, your ideals are not needed.

I've said it before— I've asked and I've pleaded.

Envy, shining in green.

Envy, leave me alone.

Sincerely,

Yours truly.
