My Life In Word

Thief of Joy

Comparison whispers, stealing light,
Turning day into restless night.
It counts another’s gold as proof,
While missing all your own roof.
It paints their world in perfect hue,
Then fades the colors right from you.
It measures life by treasure's pace,
And leaves you lost in endless chase.
So guard your heart, refuse its ploy—
For envy is the thief of joy.
