Jealousy is a Poison

First off let me say cute pictures you posted here. And YES JEALOUSY is a poison and I suffered through it for almost 18 years with my ex. She was jealous as in like fatal attraction. I couldn't look at let enough talk to another woman without her fighting with me over it. So stay away from JEALOUS men they are as bad as CHEATERS you talked about in your previous hub. Jealousy definitely can be a POISONNNNNNNNN. great poem I liked it. Rated UP.

I thought jealousy is the spices in the relationship. It getting worst if we have much jealousy more than normal. I agree with you, this can be a poison for us. There is a barrier who protect you doing anything. Very inspiring hub. I love this one. Blessing and hugs,

...well I'm jealous that you write so well and here I am in my royal diva mode throwing a hissy fit because there's someone at this hub who is gonna be a star in the near future - and humbly I would just like to ask for your autograph before you make it to the big time!!!!!!!!!!

..okay then I'm back after having a tantrum - lol lol - and all kidding aside - just keep writing from that pure noble pure heart of yours and the mind will follow ..... that's what good writing is all about - and you're all about good writing .......

Being jealous of someone or something they have and you want is so bad.It can only turn out in disaster.No one wants to be controlled and certain things don't belong to you even if you think they should.Be careful of those jealous people.Great poem.

Great hub. I've also done a hub on jealousy. Indeed it is a poison and will eat the heart away. Well done here.

My partner says that Jealousy is somehow connected to insecurity. I don't fully understand how, but she knows a lot about stuff, so I trust her judgment. I have felt jealousy towards an ex that I was very connected to. My jealousy damaged the relationship a lot. I was young and afraid of losing the person. It is a very real feeling. It is amazing how it can just take over. I even felt betrayal, but in the end, it was all down to me, not my ex. I learned a hard lesson from jealousy. This is a great hub.

Another awsome relationship poem, great work!

Life isn't always fair, and jealousy is actually an extra price do be paying when already lying down. It is also a deep-seated emotion, however, and has a way of overshadowing many other things. I enjoyed your writing, interesting how you made an introduction and then presented your poem.

I love this poem Acaetnna,I hope that you are not the jealous one. Yes in my experience jealousy can take over a life. It eats the heart away little by little.

Lovely Poem - Jealousy makes people do things which they wouldn't ordinarily do. It just possesses them.

Thanks for a nice Hub.

This is a wonderful lesson and most beautiful poem, I am very happy that you have joined us on HP. Welcome! You are truely a very good poet and writer all together! :D

aloha my dear aloha

amazing i am lost with words nothing left to comment about

What a joy to read and so accurate.

A wonderfully written poem and so very true indeed how this poison called jealousy can be a festering and self-destructive cancer if not excised from our minds. Jealous minds beware! Thank you for sharing this message through your lovely words of poetry.

A little jealousy may be sweet, could spice up a relationship. Too much jealousy is a poison I agree. Great hub :)

I just love your writing and had to come back to read your poetry again.

Hello Acaetnna. It seems you've got the troops spellbound with this hub, doesn't it. The comments just keep on flooding in. How about a sequel: "Jealousy is a Bitter Pill to Swallow." Only kidding. W.E.

Fabulous poem acaetnna, well done to you. Definitely voted up. I completely agree jealousy IS a poison and usually suffered by the mistress. God bless you for writing such beautiful, heart felt words. Well done.

Jealousy is perhaps the most painful and caustic of all the emotions. It's an evil bugger that has had it's claws in me more than once. Thanks for the poem and the great insights on the subject....

Jealousy is a feeling that destroys. It even happens within family members I am sad to say. Jealousy is a poison, eating away, bit by bit until all beauty is lost.

Thank you for your beautiful poem. I like your writing very much. I am a fan and will continue to follow you.

Blessings and peace to you.

Very good and a twist at the end, YOUR GOOD! I look forward to your poetry and really enjoyed Jealousy is a Poison and it truely is as some people are poison as well.

I like this poem very much. if jealousy is indeed the poison- perhaps love is the antidote. I enjoy your writing.

Sometimes in life jealously rears its ugly head.With a hub like yours we know it for what it is.We make sure it never finds a place within.

I really and truly love this with a passion. I it is so true. There are plenty of people who needs to read this. Jealously is the main killer of relationships and people fail to realize it. Thank you for writing this!

There is nothing wrong with a bit of jealousy, in fact, it makes a relationship stronger. Your words beautifully express this and blends perfectly with your images. Great flow too! :)

Stopping by again. Just love you and your exquisite way with words. Awesome acaetnna.

Upon reflection, I think that one of the reasons that jealosy is tough to suppress is that it is the natural reaction. Take someone's fresh sandwich out of his hand and pass it on to a stranger, he is likely to have an instinctive feeling of envy and anger. How different is then jealosy, if viewed from a "caveman's perspective"? Could it not be a basic territorial instinct? If so, overcoming it requires much will power, since our prime instincts may well be stronger than our intellect, which after all is only centuries old.

I'm jealous of your writing skills and because love and humour don't belong under the same sheets............. of paper do they? This is another neat and tidily put together poem. Cheers. PS Bert gets very jealous of Ethel at times, but not in public of course.

Another great hub with very appropriate pictures. You are very talented !! Another up!I hope you will continue to write and don't let such talent go to waste. You carry on writing and I will carry on reading.

Take care and God Bless acaetna.

acaetnna, Great poem. I liked the beat - great rhythm.

Thanks for putting it out there.

What an ingenious way to break down jealousy. I love this article. Your outlook on a relationship is right on point! I will keep reading, you keep writing!

Cute. Nicely done.

Jealousy is a poison.

And envy is a sin.

Jealousy will stunt your growth,

And make you sick within.

Play the hand that you are dealt.

Be glad with who you are.

Be thankful for what you have.

Don't wish for another's star.

For the cards will be re-shuffled.

The first shall be the last.

Be happy with your role,

And how the roles are cast.

Enjoy the success of others,

Be true and brave and bold,

And it will be hard to fill your shoes,

For when your story's told.

How true that jealousy is a poison and a slow one that can eat away at a persons happiness, it is toxic in most of its forms. You can make even a difficult and unattractive thing like jealousy - poetic,not easy to do, well done.

The green-eyed monster jealousy from Othello --- big topic and a super hub! I enjoyed your words and also the images with it, great stuff :-)

oops --- i'm back again!! Double trouble --- anyway, keep up the good work! :-)

Awesome stuff acaetnna!

Found you thru Mickey Dee with a quote from your poem,you're an awesome writer,glad I found you!

jealousy is really a poison that kills you without you really dying, you only live to suffer in your jealous state. nice work.

I came to think of this hub, which has an enduring quality and importance. Much we can learn from you!

acaetnna

I love the green eyes. So powerful. I really enjoyed this hub. It is full of wisdom. I also was with a jealous ex. Some people are just wired wrong and those of us who believe in humanity can get hurt along the way. Keep up your great writings.

You are so right. Great work, thanks for sharing it.

hmm sounds like someone was after your man! you tell her girl. put her in her place.

When it comes to the concept of jealousy,I just get confused,but then again,what does that say of the opinion I have of myself,hopefully one of contentment and not conceit,thanks aceetnna.;)

for the same reason men do i guess. i despise liars and cheaters, i dated a few of them, one was the worst. i went through a really hard time, but i learned and made it out for the better.

acaetnna,

Great wisdom expressed beautifully! Jealously is a cancer that will slowly kill a relationship if left unchecked. Great work. Keep it up!

I have known my share and i must say, it makes me run like hell. Better for you to write about than me. i am trying so hard to forget it.lol

it isnt me that is jealous, but i have been with it a lot and it hurts my face just thinking how many times i was hit and for why. hard to forget.

Jealousy is also like a Cancer...it can eat at you until there is nothing left. This was a Beautiful Poem, Acaetnna.

Great poem, I have one called jealousy but we write noting alike and I probably will have my site where I can add more to it soon and put it there. Someone tries to get all my hubs shut down, it's just no fun anymore and you know the joy you have writing, that's all I want, maybe a million dollars too, lol, great poem!

The Buddha said there are three poisons in the world: passion, aversion and bewilderment. I we go by this statement we can include jealousy in aversion. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

The bible describes the quality of jealousy as being "rotteness to the bones" because it eats away at any concern or well being for that person but the intense contempt continues to grow...that is if we don't do everything it takes within us to get the mastery over it. I grew in a house full of women as a woman, in the work place the majority of people are made of us which is so unfortunate in the sense that we are the worst at controlling our emotions and moods. Sigh this poem is dead on -smile. Very well written depiction.

excellent poem. and very true! voted up!

Jealousy is a poison that does not harm other people but yourself.

Acaetnna,you speak truth, nothing but truth.

I like the feel this poem gives me.. yeah forever more..:) I'm jealous of your writing style..yeah? How you like me now?

Yes jealousy is a poison, and a very useless emotion :)

Jealousy is a poison! What a great piece!

Powerful message, Acaetnna. My teacher used to say that jealousy hurts you and stabs others, like a knife.

Still, we are all His children. Life is never simple and sometimes hidden forces can be quite powerful. They like dancing on our foreheads. Let us all send out healing energy at this current time in 2015. Much mehta (Loving kindness)
