Know it All Nemesis


Rough day?

She’s already got a bouquet of flowers to gift you.

Boyfriend broke up with you?
She has the pint of Ben & Jerry’s and a blanket to comfort you.

Called the girl in your homeroom fat?

She’s already plotted a scene in her head to “accidentally” spill her lunch on you.

Told your friends the girl next to you a tramp?

She has already found all of her dirty work on you.

Know it All, they call her

Waltzing down the chaotic high school halls,

Nemesis is on a prowl 

Seeking her information to bring justice

She’s the contemporary embodiment of karma

Quiet and observant,

She noses out the hidden quarrels that not every student would have the ears to yield the information of

She knows your gossip, even if you believed you only told one friend

Know it all, they call her

She carries the scales that will serve you your plate of deservingness 

and will not stop until you have received it

For you are entitled to it and it is what fate has in store in the end
