My hand begins to rise
with a mind of its own.
The words are stuck
in the back of my throat.
I swallow them, yet again,
I bring my hand down,
but she sure is persistent.
One of these days
she'll regret it.
All the hateful words,
actions,
thoughts,
will come back to haunt her.
Sure I'll get a detention,
but she will forever b detained
by the regrets
of her b***hy attitude.

About this girl I know, actually, it could apply to many people I know. This is the classic, mean girl story that almost everyone can relate to.
