baby sister

you do not esteem you're preferred too much

one of them aiming for the throat

bitter doesn't began to delineate

broke down mechanisms cranking your grey matter

plotting an axe to grind

chewing on somebodies behind...you not satisfied

lest undoing some po so and so's aspirations...

wreak devastation on a few dubious mental states

scoff at seeing past your nose

desperate for you to be a sensation

running metal digs along another's embodiment

soothing necessity for status' sake

must stand out

must stand out

among the cream de la elite

you must stand out

but what are you holding down... baby sister

at expense of whose sanctuary

Strong subject you portray in your sharp poetry, a good read keep it up my friend

This is based on a lot of women who get on my darn nerves lol...my sister is one of them. Thank you A.

Well, why don't you tell us how you really feel, I take it your sister sits on an ostentatiously lofty cloud....love the way this is written in your unique style, tough read for me though.

Give her a hug anywho....

I do have a sister's who is similar to this but not intentionally, not quite so dastardly and maybe I should clarify that this is an "ethnic" write because it's in the dialogue I speak when I'm not in the public or professional eye which can be confusing for some. Sorry about that but I appreciate that you hung in there and read anyway. Thanks Frieda.

I did notice that, you changed it, where's the po you line? I really liked that you took that route...

[Shirlena]

Oh that's still there...I only changed what I thought would really take the thought process of the point home :) but I wanted it to have the same basic language and thanks Frieda.
