Poems of a Teenage Girl

Love Poems and Death Threats

For Samuel Wagan Watson 

love poems and death threats share the same lines

the same passion, the same crime

being threatened with your life is much like falling in love

your heart drops, your stomach coils, no answer will come to your lips 

I've been told I'm just a stupid white girl preaching about shit I don't understand,

yeah maybe that's true but I still wanna lend a hand

fuck that rhymes

but i'm a poet, didn't you know.

I do it all the time. 

Love poems and death threats are really just the same

same fury, same heart

just in a different frame

is it love? is it hate?

I love many people, doesn't mean I don't want to fucking strangle them sometimes.

maybe that's what the difference is...

there isn't one at all
