"A Confidence Slayer"

"A Confidence Slayer" Through the family grapevine. I heard you have no spine. Trying to mask words as candor, But they are poisoned words of slander. How do I know they are fake? Because fiction you create. My deficiencies you highlight. My accomplishments you hide. Family should be of strength. In mine it is absent. Always seeking to find my faults. I have a wound.. you have my salt. My respect you whittled away. A Confidence Slayer. I'd like to make my last name fade. With honesty they should bade. My hope you have purged. I will not be deterred. Are you really important to me? Important is family. But if you seek to tear my ways. On you I'll pull my shades. With gossip I'm rejected. Kin can come defective. My spirit you break with spears. Spears that are laced with poison fears. I will fight to stay immune. Callousness I will make bloom. Then I will be free. Of family jealousy. On my flower you placed a shade. A Confidence Slayer. ZeN
