This Thing
Summary: Why does it always return? Always making me yearn. Always making me hungry for something. Always giving my heart a sharp sting.

It’s taking over me.
This thing…it won’t let me be.
Spreading throughout my body.
It’s bringing me down.
I try to ignore it.
But this is one thing it won’t permit.
I throw it away…
But it keeps coming back.
This boomerang…
Why does it always return?
Always making me yearn.
Always making me hungry for something.
Always giving my heart a sharp sting.
I try running far far away.
This thing leaves me feeling cold and gray.
So lonely, hurt, and sad.
Angry at all the things I wish I had.
I can’t run away and I can’t hide.
I’m waiting for this thing to subside.
Won’t leave me no matter how much I’ve tried.
This thing…it’s my jealousy.
It’s my envy.
