It should have been me
up there on that stage
Basking in the applause of thousands.
I am the one who should be
Awarded
Awed
Praised!
I glare at her
From the back of the room
with eyes of steel!
Smiling maliciously
I imagine as she takes one misstep.
One wrong turn of the foot
and she would be a laughing stock
Ridiculed by onlookers.
What sweet, sweet karma that would be.
To watch her life crumble
and have everything taken away from her.
She doesn’t deserve it anyway,
I do.

Definitely that person wasn't you .. a sensitive poet like you won't carry such negative vibes .. (🏀) this is a small amulet protect from evil eyes..😊
Yeah. This was actually hard for me to write😄 I can do pain, nature, love, and see of reflection, but not envy/resent
Good words M.E.M but it is certainly not you.
