Green with envy, they say.
I’m not proud of it, but I feel jealous sometimes.
Jealous in ways I simply cannot express to those closest to me.
Jealous of the pretty and smart girls.
Jealous of the unapologetically confident people.
Jealous of the girl who has it all figured out.
I’m also jealous of her.
How she got to love you first.
How she got to mean so much to you.
And it’s irrational.
Cause we’re here now.
But sometimes,
I’m still
Green.
