you know, when you go crazy with small

you know, when you go crazy with small belongs to the following groups:

Melbourne & Victoria

it’s a secret you see,
that my jealousy
isn’t as plain as a Jane
she’s a much spindlier kind
that forces my hand to feed her
she’s not really envy either
though those dark green colours
do suit her
it’s that I strive to be
something grander
and on some of these days
through some of the ways,
spiral down my own stairwell
when I search for better
place you up high
and pour myself bitter
it’s more a self hate I guess
but you’d think so much less
of my cool armor
that I polish and shine
for you to see your reflection
a tortoise who’s shell
(but please do not tell)
is actually a darkly hopeless collection

    i just had to add, that when i read this, i don’t relate to it with regard to a ‘green eyed jealousy’..
    I get a deeper meaning from this .. a “this life versus that other one” .. or “this love versus that other one” .. that’s how it resonated within me .. slow and steady little turtoise, it all works out in the end xo (doesn’t it?)
