a product of your environment

so carefully crafted i sew the features onto the canvas 
the moon is full tonight 
the needle and thread as thin as can be 
I  will never see eye to eye with her
I bind each string to the only choice i have 
to choose discipline over dignity 
I refuse to knot my adolescence without innocence 
to produce and create causes the culture to deceive 
the production to be mythic 
My envy shines green , glowing deeply 
I stitch up and down highs to lows 
line after line 
to be committed is to be completed 
without a shard of accountable reflection the conclusion of course is purely coincidental

I read this a few times. Still trying to piece it together. Is this about siblings? Or parent/child?
