To the classmate who wears winged eyeliner to Biology.
And inserts snide comments into a conversation
They weren't even part of.
Who brings up embarrassing stories
That were supposed to be private
But are now being used to crush your soul.
Who bases their entire worth
On their body count
Or how many shots they've taken that night
Who acts superior to everything on earth
Proudly claiming that no one is entitled to basic respect
Even as they expect special treatment
From everyone around them.
Who drives at the speed of light
Chugging enough redbull to kill a small child
Hoodie colored by cigarette burns and multicolored stains
How does it feel to be so cripplingly insecure
That you have to ruin everyone else's lives
In order to feel better about yours?
