unreservedly

Jealousy is such an ugly word 
i don't want to give in
i try to avoid it

Green eyed monster rampages
now and again, its true
so i practice being really zen

Makes me look petty
makes me look insecure
and paranoid

Self pity and doubt,
don't tear your insides
out

But when I say I hate you, do you think I mean it ?
Or do you think I bluff
do you think I jest

I’ve had enough of being nice
mustn’t cause a fuss, or any bother
must be calm, don’t raise my voice

Hate  and anger are such negative feelings
should i allow you make me feel that way ?

Yes im damned angry 
and i hate that you broke my trust

Really telling it like it is here

Lou I like that you could express your self well in this poem as I felt it the whole way through. this ending bringing it around for sure Yes im damned angry and i hate that you broke my trust The only thing I have to see is the pome small I's and some capped I's. I would bring it all home and make the entire poem with caps of I's. That is the only raw truth you ask for here that I can give you. Love at you Mona xoo
