STORY STARTER
Write a story or poem from the voice of someone who is jealous.
Jealous
I donāt want to be jealous
But I am
I donāt want to feel this way
But I do
I never realized
I would be jealous of my sister
She is 5 years younger
But growing up on track
I wish I knew
What a normal childhood was like
Wish I hadnāt been forced to grow up so fast
Wish I had bean healthy like her, and grown up on track
I wish I didnāt feel this was
It feels so wrong to feel this way
Why do I feel this way
Make it go away
No one believes me when i tell them my age
No they donāt say lower
They always guess higher
And i get flirted with by college guys
At 14, why i do feel like I am hundreds of years old
Why do I feel like there is nothing more to hold
Why am I jealous of my little sister
I had to grow up
When i had to start giving myself shots
Counting every carb
And it will never stop
I had to grow up
When people wanted me dead
When I wanted me dead
But at least iām better now
I love her to bits
And I am not truly jealous of her
Just the fact
That she didnāt have to grow up so fast
I had to grow up
When I started hating life
When I didnāt know who I was
And had to figure it out
Wish I didnāt grow up so fast
Wish I had had friendships that lasted
But I have friends now
So why am I complaining
I donāt hate my life
Just donāt love the way it played out
On three times speed
Like people around me were bored
I hate this feeling
But i hate that i had to grow up so fast
But it will pass
It always passes
