The Frenemy
by Leslie
but they’re disingenuous
sugary insults
that her standards for me are
well below her own
self-superiority -
she wears it like clothes
my self-esteem’s not a snack
for her to nibble

You Should Do This

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
Don’t let her nibble on you ever again my friend, if you can break up do it. You are worth more than that to us. xxx
Thank you, Jacquie. you are so sweet!
The break-up is inevitable. I’ve endured it too long. I have to get out before I’m all eaten up and there’s nothing left!
Yeah! And your little dog too : )
Leslie, I love the new about section and “Linkies I Likey” is AWESOME!!!
Thanks! I’d been wanting to change the About page for a while. It doesn’t quite measure up to the vision I had in my head, but it’s a step in the right direction.
I actually have a few of those in my life…very draining! There’s no way she’s funnier than you though so if you can’t break up with her (if she’s like mine then she’s also part of the family) imagine a posse of sock monkey’s attacking her while she spews her garbage.
Ha ha! It isn’t likely I can break up completely and forever, amen. But I think I can sort of quietly fade into the background or something, because you are right - DRAINING!
Kick her ass!
I have a recurring dream where I do just that. I want to make it into an animated short film, but Dave doesn’t want to help me. I say it’s cheaper than therapy. Or bail.
You are getting more fierce by the day…and I like it!
Yeah, I think it’s a good thing…I think.
No kidding. I had someone like that in my life - and I don’t any longer.
Remember, though, her “stuff” probably stems from her own insecurity.
I completely agree with you! And that makes it kind of sad, but unbearable still.
I so know what you mean. One just doesn’t need people like that to steal ones energy!
Especially when I’m already kind of low in the energy department.
good conclusion!
Thinking it and doing it are two different things, though. I just hope I can see it through.
OMG! I totally am in love with this small quad of poems. You’ve captured something so real here!
Unfortunately is so real, because I’m experiencing it right now. Stupid frenemy.
