Envy Me.
12 October, 2005
Author: Emma-Louise
Jealousy will take you to the lowest revenges,
Your life will be concentrated on the sickest avenges.
My best mate is convinced that my ‘perfectness’ will have no end,
And that she will always be seen as “The Fat Friend”..
She used to always remind me of everything I held,
Always the things she didn’t have, on this she dwelled.
My figure, my home, my looks, my boyfriend,
And of course, her ego, I did always defend.
“You are so pretty, and you’re nice; I’ve got a big list!”
But everything I said, she always dismissed.
She told me she was jealous, she wanted to be me..
But I never expected her to side with her jealousy.
It seems like she went home one night and made a list,
Of all the things she had, that to me – didn’t exist.
And once she had her audience she would reveal,
She didn’t think twice about how it would make me feel.
Everything she said was true, and we both knew it,
She wasn’t the person I knew, she created no limits.
She dug her nails into my past and my insecurities..
Her words sunk into me painfully and spread like a disease.
She accused me of making her feel so small,
I was immeditalely made the bully infront of all.
And the ending she gave her little review:
“You think you’re better, but I’m so better than you.”
Her smile made it seem like a joke – but I could recognise the sneer,
The part of the speech that only me and her could hear.

Emma, you're a very talented poet.But from this poem, I gathered that you've gotten over most of your issues? I know it's painful to remember them again, but try to get to that relaxing place where you're free from everything, like you once were. |
