Often times high on dope.

Always acting like a "winning" teen.

She lived in a spoiled city.
She was so shiny and round,
Adopts carrots from the pound.
And found that it was very witty.

Up in the dark sky
the moon is outshining all
it is dark divine

She had always failed in school,
Because she acted like a fool.

Similie: The speed at which she ran was like one of a gazelle's
