With envy are you green?
To others are you mean?
Your heart filled with hate
and you hear no debate?
What other’s have you desire
and within yourself you conspire
From them to take away
as a facade you display?
Acting like you’re their friend
but envy to no end
And all your wiles employ
that their life you destroy?
Then if you do succeed
does it satisfy your greed
Or do you want more
than what you did before?
That’s evil through and through
running amok inside of you
And you must get free
of hate, greed and envy
To the God‘s throne run
confessing what you have done
While asking for His grace
to all your sins erase
That you walk in love
and praising the Lord above
If you want to spend
when this life does end
Your eternity is such bliss
this world you’ll never miss!

Their delicate feet tapped, their skirts bloomed like lilies and their fingers caressed the air. The show was beautiful, ephemeral and moving. I stared in awe and hatred. My body had once been as beautiful, flexible and delicate as theirs. Those naive girls had no idea what ballet truly was, but I did. While my husband teaches them everything he taught me, I sit and wait for a concert where I don’t dance. Ritualistic torture transformed from a once loved cycle of performance. As he runs his aging hands down their taut legs I feel mine alone, disappointed. My eyes grew wide with boiling hatred, if only I could snap those precious, beautiful, young swan-like necks. Would he still love them then?
All I could think of
was my intense hate
and the wicked twist
of my own fate
There was a time
I was the star
ballerina extraordinaire
I’d gone so far
Traveled all the world
great applause I heard
how they clamored for me
hung on my every word
Look at me now
broken by this disease
I would never dance again
the doctor said with ease
Legs are so twisted
and ugly to the eye
destroyed my whole world
but wouldn’t make me die
Stuck in this wheelchair
forced to watch them dance
ate up by their beauty
as they pirouette and prance
I don’t understand why
he must torture me
can he not comprehend
why doesn’t he see?
Can’t take it anymore
time for him to pay
he doesn’t know yet
it’s his judgement day
Knife under the pillow
the preparations are made
when he goes to sleep
my pain will be repaid
When I am done
ugly he will be
as these twisted legs
that have crippled me.

picture it & write contribution
Look into my eyes
There do you see
That you I despise
In the darkness of me
The things that I hide
Hate, greed and envy
The evil that’s inside
Of not just only me
I am always waiting
For you to be
The one they’re hating
As a mortal enemy
For it lurks there
Wanting to be free
And make you into where
You’re as evil as me!

There’s a green-eyed monster
within us all
who’s there just waiting
for us to call
He lies dormant
deep down inside
and his time
does he bide
Until the rise
of our jealousy
fans the flames
to burning envy
And then we will
let him out
That his poison
we’ll scream and shout
When nothing good
in him does dwell
for he’s a demon
straight from hell
God did command us
to keep him away
that he does not
lead us astray
So always remember
we have the power
to slay that monster
every day and hour!
Teresa Marie 8/13/11
Come hold my hand
Together we will stand
Wherever we may land
We’ll be together and
We’ll be the envy
Of every one we see
For you’ll never be
Anywhere without me
Come take my hand
With the angel band
Dance in the sand
Life will be grand
‘Cause you are the one
Who is my moon and sun
The love we have won
Will never be undone!
Teresa Marie 8/11/11
Who you are I see
and you don’t fool me
The monster that you hide
is lurking there inside
Just waiting to be freed
upon my soul to feed
You are my true enemy
full of hate and envy
That does always come out
as you scream and shout
Because you are a bully
which I now see fully
And I have run from you
no longer will you do
What to me you’ve done
and my life I have won.
