Jealousy

Have i felt jealous ?

Oh yes definitely.

When driven to the wits end 

When inadequate to work out 

sight of the other winning 

That burning feel inside 

Don't I want the other to win   

No, its not that 

Its that I feel inadequate 

Not skillful or competent enough 

To perform and to succeed.

 Rawness of jealousy

am better than other belief

toxicity that corrodes

doubts that other has a better way. 

But nature with its variety

holds us all   

we are unique in our own ways 

Although Faltering on the path

But treasuring the lessons a lot .

Failure or success

Are just black and white 

Finding the grey of lessons learnt

Soothes the mind and the soul.

To outperform the other 

is not the goal 

the goal post is where i know myself 

To grow in mind and spirit

In welfare of other beings 

every cell in my being 

wanting peace ...

Sarva bhute hithe rathah !
