"Beneath Envious Veils"

In a world of shadows, where jealousy does dwell,
There's a man who gets jealous, as you can surely tell.
He dislikes seeing me happy, shining so bright,
He wants me to be sad, day and night.

He enjoys thinking ill of me, that's his game,
Believing he's superior, seeking his own fame.
But he works to survive, just like you and me,
Yet he thinks he's better, oh, can't you see?

He weaves tales of lies, so cunning and sly,
His manipulative ways, oh my, oh my!
He's jealous of my wellness, it drives him insane,
But I'm getting better, and that adds to his pain.

Sometimes he stalks my life, it's really quite odd,
That's how I know he's watching, like a jealous fraud.
He's got his own issues, but he won't admit,
Instead, he blames me, throwing a fit.

But fear not, my friend, it's not your fault at all,
His jealousy is his burden, his own inner wall.
Keep shining brightly, with happiness and glee,
Leaving him in the shadows, while you stay free.
