The elegance of privilege
Privilege is elegant
Graceful, as it glides like a breeze
Unnoticed by those who catches its attention
Noticed by those who live in the shadow
Although it's voice not loud
It's presence demands to be heard
It's violence shows in its hidden claws
Knowing when to pounce and when to be quiet
It lives within recognition
And if quick smiles

Inferiority Is Complex
She had a masters degree,
from Trinity Cambridge,
was brokering deals in the city,
with overheard talk re. financial leverage.
Whilst I’d a diploma
from a,
“technical” college.
A photographic memory,
from heart she could recite,
the Shakespeare plays and
the complete periodic table,
and her port and whisky bottles had their own silver labels.
A no mortgage flat, Persian cat and a

Inferiority Complex As a Kid, Adolescent and Emerging Adult
Inferiority complex as a kid, adolescent and emerging adult
Yours truly (an amazingly,
gracefully, and markedly modest
passively aging baby boomer -
formerly introverted long haired
pencil necked geek),
prattling wordsmith doth behold
nostalgic memories regarding father
(Boyce Brandon Harris)
long ago lapsed decades
during papa's prime time
many years past when complacence
existed about joie de vivre,
and considerations about mortality irrelevant,
where soothsayers promised
our family staying alive

Blind Folds On a Glistening Light
Ain't a illusion but reality,
Your stardom, your limelight,
Your rich folks and my shame dress,
My heart begging tears to shed.
Ain't a Jack in box I promise
But a fairy light lost in spotlight,
All you were a short lived fantasy
While December joyed and February weeped.
Ain't a Silhouette but a soulful dream
Of my life's road driven

timid, meek, and demure (effeminate) me,

Inferiority
You are putting yourself down
No, I`m not, but I know you want to have a go, so I deflect
your sarcasm your words fall on stony ground.
The public laughed off my self-disparaging and your words
embarrassed you, I fenced off your attack.
As a runt in the family, I learned to be the one

Inferiority
Ideally, standing up is the expectation to the present folded lay
Never up to own standard, self belief a constant enemy
Falling below threshold; never reaching the mark of confidence
Events are always weighed by their authority on personality
Roll call of self esteem is done; name is present but being-absent
Intimidated even by the most ordinary of matter and

Feelings of Inferiority
Feelings of inferiority
Irritated and enraged
Just like ocean waves
Defensiveness like a baby who tries and crawls but falls
Fear and forlorn hit the floor
Confused and want to run out the door
Insecurity and hopelessness are at the pore
Guild and hatred will haunt you down
Screams of agony are the closest sounds
Lost in the middle of overwhelming I
