As she brushes past you in the halls,

you just stare in amazement,

that someone so beautiful

could be so cruel.


She steals your friends

and your dignity,

dishing out humiliation

every chance she gets.


She's the queen of the school,

head of the cheerleaders.

Her poise and grace may charm at first,

but her true self will shine through.


For on the surface she may be pretty

and charming and popular,

But underneath she is a monster

patiently waiting to strike.
