Sall B. Mcgill
Listen, I’ll be clear
I don’t like you and I never have
If I had to choose between you and a knife, I would have left with a weapon by now
I would kill you with a single look
I would slap the white or black from your face
If you said something, my hands would already be around your throat
I would take your butt and throw it off the train, if I wanted to
If you asked me for a favor, I would say “NO” and demand to fight
I would jump off a cliff and eat a bug
I would go swimming and wrestle a shark
I would take your bag, your clothes, your life, your name and spit on it
I would take a knife and cut off a slip of your skin,
Just to watch the blood flow, slowly killing you
I would kidnap you and keep you locked up
I would stab you over and over again, even after death
I would hit you until your neck broke and you couldn’t breathe again
I would thrust your head in the water, take it out, then do it again
Because the other me is not your friend,
She is ruthless, heartless, cold-blooded and wants you dead
She would bring a gun to school and shoot everyone,
Just for the fun of it
She knows the spot on your back that will not only kill you, but
Also break every bone in your body and release all your blood
She would kill your parents and relatives just to see you cry
She would bomb your house
She would trap you, then rip your heart out
Because Sally is insane, dangerous and not afraid to die for her sins.
