She ain't nothing but a broke-ass bitch
Collecting time socially
Labeled as another socialite wanna-be.
Living lies, collecting them on a platter
Until she sits and chokes them down.
She ain't nothing but a broke-ass bitch
Collecting fines socially
While she has no idea who she is
Turning her back, old friends are no longer important.
She's moving on to bigger and better things.
She ain't nothing but a broke-ass bitch
Falling behind scholarly
Living her life the way she wants
While others laugh at her slip-ups.
She thinks she's the next big thing.
She ain't nothing but a broke-ass bitch.
Listen to me as I correct this bitch
Your eagerness to be bigger and better
Is the reason you're losing your mind
So if you walk away, who's going to stay?
She ain't nothing but a broke-ass bitch
Wishing on falling stars, getting nowhere.
I'd like to think she'll turn herself around...
But honestly, life's a bitch and so is she.
She ain't nothing but a fake-ass bitch.

I agree with Marcus' comment, this totally reflects teen girls now-a-days.
"Living lies, collecting them on a platter
Until she sits and chokes them down."
For me, I felt like those were probably two of the most powerful lines in this piece. I also like the bluntness of this piece. *clap*

Its very good, but I didn't like the cussing at the beginning of every stanza. I believe that it could be a great poem without it.
Keep it up, and thanks for entering

whos the victim of this serenade to almost all teenage girls?
-
wow, lol, that is brutal!
I loved this. I think you have a typo there where you say: you're eagerness. I think you meant "your" eagerness, but I could be wrong. AWESOME. =0)

you're totally right.
i can't believe i made that typo... they're my pet peeve.
thanks for letting me know though!
since everyone else who read this either didn't catch it, didn't know it was a typo, or just didn't bother to tell me.
