How Popularity Killed Me

Her eyes shined,
A devinstatinly bright red,
As she held the potted plant,
Vicilously above her blonde little head,

Her teeth showing like a wolf,
Clothes rumpled on her damaged body,
You would have never known,
They used to be so gaudy,

I hated that “popular” girl,
So damn much,
But I never would’ve guessed,’
I’d be the first to throw a punch,’

I dodged the flying bowl,
and threw a kitchen knife
never really thinking,
I could end her life,

I didn’t care,
I didn’t want to,
But when I hit her torso,
My mind simply blew,

I ran behind the counter,
Grabbed the hidden gun,
And before I knew it,
I too, was done.


The author's comments:
This poem is about hating the stereotypical popular girl, and well, killing her. That's where the title came from. The girl didn't kill the narrator, but because of what the narrator did to the popular girl, they killed them self.
