Jealousy
She hated her sister
For being able to do whatever
For being able to go to school everyday
For being able to go to parks on the weekends
While she could do nothing but lie on a sick bed
Her sister hated her
Because of the stolen affection
The loneliness she felt every single day
Because of the attention their parents didn't show her
Wanting to be the one their mother slept with every-night
Both wishing to be in the other person's shoes
Both not valuing what they have
Instead, craving for what don't have
Foolishly walking in the fire of jealousy
