Underneath

Yet again...God how many poems is it going to take huh??

"Sorry for offending you,"

You say

With a scoff.

 

Sure

That was totally believe-able.

 

I dont care how old you are

The way I am treated is disgusting

But that's not stopping you, now is it?

 

Now that you're almost eighteen?

That makes it okay, right?

 

Just because I'm a bit younger than you

Suddenly

I'm dirt under your shoes, right?

 

Of couse right.

 

I saw what you wrote today.

Offended

I tell you, out of concern.

 

"Why are you going through my stuff!?" you shout.

But truth was

It was on my bedroom floor

Front side up

For the whole world to see.

 

Im tired of playing 2nd best

To a girl like you

Who hides things from me

And then blames it on things

I cannot help

 

So whatever.

 

Eighteen, huh?

Is that all that constitutes

Respect anymore?

Age?

Sister? Friend, maybe? I am not sure who it is directed to but it beautifully illustrates you angry but seeing through your own faults as well. You have such insight into the minds of others and you appear to be extremely introspective and that translates well onto paper. A very emotional poem.

Good write. I can feel the anger in your words. I love that within this poem. I don't think people should be rude to you..because you are sweet. :)
