The girl with a million friends
The one who knows everyone's secrets
You can hear her talking about you when she slithers down the hall
Gossip

The girl with a million friends
The sound of rumors evolve around her
She coils and curls while changing secrets
You are forced to be nice and have all your attention focused on her.
She wants to be the queen serpent who knows everything
Attention Seeker

The girl with a million friends
Is trying to get herself at the top of the food chain
Intimidation surrounds you like quicksand when you see her
Sneak

The girl with a million friends
She is your best friend and your worst enemy
She’ll do what she needs to make herself look the best
Acting as if she’s a cobra her tail pummels others
The nice girls are her prey
Backstabber

The girl with no real friends
Her venomous strike won’t always make friends
I’m wishing everyone would notice who she is and what she does
  Snake


The author's comments:

The idea of my poem is to persuade people into not being rude and trying to be popular because being popular isn't always a good thing.
