JEALOUSY; THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE LESS YOU KNOW

tumblr_lpne2pHL3y1qd1x58o1_400

Your sister hates me
she curses my curvy and short figure
she says I took her good features during creation
or that I came from the ocean floor of hell
now she gossips me with her broom-stick sisters
and stares at me with eyes of arrows

when I walk, I wiggle; my heavenly endowment
when she walks, she bends: too much hormones
when her suitors see me, they stare at me head to toe
but they only look at her lagoon face
even your mother wishes she had buttocks
so suitors can bring money
that she will use to train you in school

I see that I have become an idol for her fantasies
but it’s not my fault she resembles the riot of hell
but why is she jealous
she wears foundation and designs her face; I do not
she wears long beaded ear rings; my ears are not pierced
she wears short skirts; I wear long gowns
my natural beauty overshadows her playground face

when we walk down the road together
heads turn to me and she becomes my shadow
she hates me even more now
but I look at her and wish I was tall
or that I had her hormones
that feature; she stole from me during creation
and I hate her for that

  11. Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the net the
    simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get
    annoyed while people think about worries that they just don’t know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without
    having side-effects , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
