Allow me to introduce myself, you must know me,
I am quite sure we have met before, in some other time.
I wrap my legs around you, I slither as you speak.
I destroy reputations, I demise the weakest minds.
Who am I? that's the question that you ask,
but you already know, even my name hisses on your lips.
Whenever you speak of me, it is all lies, never facts,
my name, dear child?, why my name is Gossip!
I ruin lives, I make the innocent cry,
I wreck marriages, and destroy friendships,
I don't want to do it, but then again I tend to lie.
After all child, my name is Gossip.
Now, let me ask, do you want a friend like I?
Do you prefer to sit alone in the dark?
with nothing to hold, but a pack of lies?
Or would you prefer to wise up and get smart?
So next time, I come around with my lies,
what path will you choose, me or the truth?
