Envy

Summary: I go through my life pretty jealous and bitter about most things. Knowing I have to rely on people to live, wishing I could just do certain things, and wondering how that would effect my mentality. Thing is my jealousy is general not personal, guess that's what I'm trying to get over here.

Don't worry.

My jealousy won't stop me liking you.
It won't stop me thinking of you.
It won't stop me talking to you.
It won't stop me caring about you.
It won't stop me looking at you.
It won't stop me admiring you.
It won't stop me loving you.
It won't stop me wanting you.

I worry.

Loved the build-up in this one - very powerful indeed. I would take out that last line though and end it just with "I will worry." in the position you have it. Let the reader complete the thought - the poem is far too strong for an explanation to be offered!

I agree with Hollyb, finishing on 'I will worry' concludes it much more strongly but apart from that I loved it. It is very deep and thought provoking.

Thanks for all comments.

I think you're right the last line is too much.
