We walk paths on our own way, <br />while others try to force us <br />to walk paths with only them. <br />Some get ungrateful <br />if we only walk awhile, <br />and then help someone else <br />on their lonely mile. <br />They get jealous <br />if we do for others <br />what you are only expected <br />to do just for them. <br />Therefore, it goes on and on, <br />until one day they look around, <br />finding their demands <br />have left them without friends. <br /> <br />They so want to be noticed, <br />and they’ll do anything they can, <br />to try to force people <br />to notice them. <br />They wonder why <br />no one listens to their needs. <br />Wonder why people begin to turn away. <br />They forget about their demands <br />they put on others to stay, <br />they can only see what is good for them, <br />and not that others have needs to. <br />So they hurt those they should not, <br />hoping it will make them feel better. <br /> Instead, it makes them feel worse <br />for their anger only forces people away.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/envy-and-jealousy/
