Gossip Kills 2017 Tamara Thompson

I sit quiet and watch the crowd,

their voices becoming angry and for me to loud.

I wait for the gossip come to an end,

snickering in corners, while I thought we were friends.

You may not know, but it hurts me so,

to be laughed at and taunted-"What, you think I don't know?"

Brushed aside for no reason, just a turn of the season.

I still try to be kind, you just say "Never Mind!"

No one is perfect for this I know.

I’m sick of the game, sick of the two and fro.

I would have been, could have been a friend,

Pretending to like me, then I turn to defend.

When you are alone, if no one seems to care,

It’s when you know a burning of someone’s stare.

So please bite your tongue, this room is quite small,

I can hear everything you say, from this side of the wall.

Stop the gossip please, it makes quite a loud sound,

Just one loud voice, shouting out from the crowds.

How would you feel, to be picked on-shunned aside,

It doesn't feel nice, Gossip is just a bunch of lies.

Stop lying to yourself and others you like to tell,

Gossip will kill deep inside, so leave your words behind.
