Shade 83: Of This and That

Don’t think about your jealousy
It tears you like a beast
The thing you thought you passed in youth
Still clings to you to feast
It frays the fragile tapestry
You’ve weaved with wondrous care
And where you worked to earn your joy
You’re laden with despair
Push it back into the shadows
To the confides of its cage
And best the beast that bites at you
That turns your joy to rage
For your mind is your own country side
It’s up to you to keep it clear
Don’t think about your jealousy
And you can persevere
