Maya bradley same! I don’t think I’ve heard even one poem by her where I went “meh, not interesting”.

She's always so powerful ♥

This encouraged me so much! Sometimes I feel like the world is against me but your words Olivia, left me empowered.

She is irony,personified. She is so inspiring.

Ahhhh!!! You nailed Melissa's style to a T. This is beautiful!

Every poem of hers shows me something new and I love it

She never ceases to amaze me. 😘

God I love Olivia. She’s so talented.

Omg I FELT this! Olivia I love you.

i’m 20 now, but i’ll always be a teenage girl

As someone who was once a teen girl, this is heavy and real and holds me.

As a teenager girl, I love this

i actually love this and olivia so much

Olivia is my easily one of my favorites. She helped inspire me to write more, especially spoke word.

Astonishing as always🙌🏽 so happy that they’re still posting her stuff because she is undoubtedly my favorite💕❤️

Absolutely love Olivia. So amazing!

This girl is a genius

i am so happy i saw this

this poem was magical.

I look forward to sharing this with every little niece and cousin I get to see grow up. Teen girls deserve to feel that empowerment. Thank you!

This is beautiful, as always.

SlamFind This is for my best friend Melissa Lozado Oliva (Mimicking audience) Awwww (Audience laughs) When I say that we are all teen girls what I mean is that when my grandmother called to ask why I didn't respond to her letter All I heard was "Why didn't you text me back?" "Why don't you love me" And how can I talk about my grandmother without also mentioning that if everyone is a teen girl then so are the birds, their soaring clicks their squarking throats And the sea, of course the sea Its moody push and pull The way we drill into it Fill it with our trash Take and take and take from it and still it holds us each time we walk into it What is more teen girl than not being loved but wanting it so badly that you accept the smallest crumb and call yourself full What is more teen girl than my father's favourite wrench? Than the whine of the floorboards in my mother's house What is more teen girl than my dog Jack? Whose bark is shrill and unnecessary Who has never once stopped a burglar or heeled on command but sometimes when I laugh his tail wags so hard it thumps against the wall Sometimes it sounds like a heartbeat Sometimes I yell at him for talking too much For his messy room Sometimes I put him in pink striped polos and I think he feels pretty I think he likes to feel pretty And the mountains, oh the mountains what teen girls they are Those collosal showoffs And the moon glittering and distant and dictating all our emotions My lover's tender but heavy breath while she sleeps is a teen girl How it holds me and keeps me awake all at once How sometimes I wish to silence it until she turns her body and the room goes quiet and suddenly I want it back Imagine the teen girls gone from our world and how quickly we would beg for their return How grateful would we be then for their loud enthusiasm And ability to make a croptop out of anything Even the men who laugh their condescending laughs when a teen girl faints at the sight of her favourite popstar Even those men are teen girls The way they want so badly to be big and important and worshipped by someone Donald Trump - teen girls in his tiny tweeting hands Pluto - Teen girls and her rejection from the popular universe And my father A teen girl, who insists he doesn't believe in horoscopes but wants me to tell him the best traits of a Scorpio I tell him we are all just teen girls And my father, having raised me recounts the time he found the box of love notes and condom wrappers I hid in my closet The missing socks The radio blaring over my pitchy sobs The time I was certain I would die of heartbreak And in a moment was in love with a small new boy And of course the teen girls, the real teen girls Huddled on the subway after school, limbs draped over each other's shoulders Bones knocking an awkward windchime And all of the commuters who plug in their headphones to mute the giggle Silence the gaggle and squeak Not knowing where they learned to do this To roll their eyes and turn up the music Not knowing where they learned this palpable rage Not knowing the teen girls who are our most distinguished professors Who teach us to bury the burst until we close our bedroom doors and then cry with blood in the neck Foot through the door Face in the pillow The teen girls who teach us to scream

I can see the Melissa in there

she reminds me of jennifer gray😍

I’m sorry but ayeee Scorpio 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️😂

Okay can I just say this in the most non-hateful but amused and empowered way? I will anyway because freedom of speech. Is she not wearing a bra? Go girl you go #freethenipple empowerment in its truest sense.

She looks different

Camerin Claire she wasn't comparing teen girls to Donald Trump she was comparing Donald Trump tweeting about all of his feelings and emotions to a teen girl. Big difference there.

This girl needs to grow up.
