WRITING OBSTACLE
Describe a character's physical appearance through the eyes of someone who feels intense jealousy for them.
How accurate would the description be when tainted by strong emotion?
Is It Jealousy?
Her eyes are like two everlasting pools
You can see every emotion within them
And yet they’re still a void
Her hair is always bouncy and long
Little flecks of gold within her brown
Like a stream of honey among the chocolate river
She always walks with quite confidence
Poised and regal
Stands up straight like a Queen
The way her skin sparkles in the sun
Like a fresh coat of snow on a winters day
Yet to be disturbed
Her voice of velvet
Kind and cool
Like a warm hug when you hear it
I can’t help but feel sour
Why can’t I have those things
All I have is me
I’m not bad
But she is so much better
Even as I look to her now my heart flutters
I told my friends once
About how i thought she looked
They told me I was jealous
Now I’m not sure
As I watch her laugh
And her eyes light up
And she looks at me
…
As my eyes meet hers
My smile grows
I feel heat in my cheeks
She was so pretty
So much better than me
With her eyes of deep blue
Swirling like a stormy sea
Small grey clouds over boundless waves
Her hair is like a crackling fire
The leaves on the trees in the fall
A beautiful copper friz and all
Her little shifting as she stands
One foot to the next
I know that she’s nervous
The way her tone shifts in the light
A simple rich color
That can be dark and bright
Her voice so quiet
So slow and so sweet
Little stutters and missteps
I’d hear on repeat
I’d never told anyone about how I feel
She’s just so perfect
And yet so real
I feel so fake
When I’m around her
My confidence fades
It passes a blur
Now I’m not sure
As our eyes meet
And she looks away
