A Threat Most Gruesome
_“Susan,_
_You know,_
_Your death will_
_Put on_
_Quite the show._
__
_Blood,_
_Brains,_
_Spilled on the floor,_
_My promise to you is_
_Gore!_
__
_When the bullet _
_Passes through_
_The head_
_On top of you,_
_Blood will rain,_
_Though you_
_Won’t feel the pain,_
_Luckily,_
_You’ll already be _
_Dead._
__
_Sleep _
_With one eye_
_Open…_
__
_You just might_
_Live_
_To see tomorrow’s _
_Morning light…”_

My eyes
Widened
In shock,
For I had just received
A death threat.
Who
Wanted to kill me,
And why?
I’ve tried
My best
To be
The best me
I can possibly be!
What have I done
That was so wrong?
Who did I hurt
To deserve this?
Who would send me
A threat most gruesome?
