Jaded

I am squelched beneath these tides,
They cover me in evil glee, and I'm helpless,
Feelings of jealousy crowd my mind,
Quenching every thirst, and I'm breathless.

Tinges of jade envelope me,
within a smoky haze,
I am trapped in my foibles,
Haphazardly I run in a maze.

Leave me be, oh you of Envy,
Release your hold on my soul,
Drop your grips of green,
Give me back control.

I will not be mastered,
by one such as you,
I will piece together my spirit,
I will be brand new.
