(Daily Post)
I snort in derision
I knew her it was her decision
Miss ‘oh-so-perfect ‘
Miss ‘genius and precision’
She sets the bar so high
Looking down in disdain
If you do not attain
That goal in the sky
Later is not in her vocabulary
With her, you cannot tarry
She makes me feel awful
Listens impatiently to my excuses,
Never thoughtful
My apologies -only amuses
“Try harder “- she hisses
Grabs for my heart, but misses
I stare hard in the mirror
Filled with determination and vigour
“Get out of my way !”
My reflection smiles- as she slowly fades away……….

You know what I do sometimes with the other me?- I question everything she says, I just ask myself “is it true that…? Can I absolutely know that it’s true? ” and then strange things are happening. Well written!
