It drips from their tongues,
The venom.
Honey coloured and sugar coated,
But it tastes bitter,
They don't like the taste, so they spill it.
Poison to me, to you, to the quiet ones.
We deserve silence,
Not venom

The author's comments:
Rumours inspired this poem- how teenagers, or anyone for that matter-can just start things about people and not feel any remorse or feel sorry for it. And how people can just be quiet and let it happen.
