It happens all the time when I'm with friends
especially within a group of gals-
the urge to gossip pops its ugly head;
a game to pick apart that missing one.
This surely is that something I am not;
no joy exists in tearing one apart
by pointing out defects, or what they've done-
behind their backs to entertain some friends.
A gossiper, I'll never choose to be;
my lips stay closed- my heart absorbs the pain
of what that person mocked would feel inside
if he or she were present for the game.

I chose traditional Blank Verse
because it is my second favorite
form to use after the Sonnet.
