Battle of Snakes
What did I do wrong?
Snakes hiss my name with poisonous tongues
Racking my brain to find an interaction that went sour
I can’t find a problem, or are you sour yourself?
Everyday snakes hiss my name with poisonous tongues
Tell me snake, instead of playing this guessing game
I can’t find a problem, you must be sour yourself
I’m sure there is nothing wrong and you are just a drama queen
Tell me snake, instead of playing this guessing game
Can’t fall asleep, trying to climb out of this snake pit
I’m sure there is nothing wrong and you are just a drama queen
Knot in my chest, tears in my eyes
Can’t fall asleep, trying to find my way out of this maze of snakes
Racking my brain for an interaction that went sour
Knot in my chest, tears in my eyes
What did I do wrong?

It is about the obsessive, back and forth feeling and frustration when everone hates ou. I was bullied in he fifth grade and the feelings I experienced are in this poem. I chose a pantoum style poem because it gives a sense of obsession over the topic.
