Succubus (Faerie - Lafayette, LA)

Choking on my ashes I cringe beneath your lashes  I look into your lies with my candy coated eyes But kiss my lips again and slip into my sin My passion lies in lust my inhibited soul is just Would you fuck my addiction  if I showed you my perception? You desire my pain but I am numb and you are slain You dream illusions of us for I've become you're succubus

Come Hither (Annette Redmond Walters - Lafayette, LA)

I meant it not this way but the tears just flow and my makeup smearing all the more, leaving behind that familiar filthy residue. I may have begun to drive myself away, dragging you down as well. But it's done, I've flipped the switch and now it's dark once more. How painful is the music to my ears, I can't stand to be alone in it, yet here I am again. I pray you fly back and safely and warmly to me, though I fear I've dug the grave too deeply. As the dirt shifts within my soul, I choke on those loving words I'd  meant for you. All the fragments of light I see becoming smaller and I wish to be near you in your embrace that might make me feel the warmth I'm missing. And in reality, I doubt I'd breathe another breath without you. So come hither and quickly soothe my dying heart, you are the only cure I know. I cry and cry again, come hither to heal and love me. Come hither and help me dry my tears.

Lift Me (Annette Redmond Walters - Lafayette, LA)

Look into my eyes tell me what you see Look beneath the lies tell me what will be Listen to my cries help me off my knees Listen to my "whys" help me find the key  Lift me to the skies  teach me how to flee Lift me from the ties  teach me to be free Look into my fears  tell me what is real  Look beneath my tears  tell me how to deal  Listen while I'm here help me to reveal  Listen while I'm near help me to be healed Lift me from the smear  teach me what to seal Lift me and appear teach me how to feel

I'm Not Coming for You (Yet) (Louis Toliver Jr - Swartz, LA)

Wait. Pause. Why is my life coming out of your mouth? Let’s reverse a second Is your name my name? Did you live it? Through tears and laughter Please. Don’t come from me cause I’m not coming for you My words are directed to naysayers You will not see me fail But you can wait until the rust settles, hoping But just in case you do come for me You will find out This Scorpio man Will sting you back Don’t mess with me for just living if I ain’t done jack, Ah, bitches, sometimes talk whack Most of the time it’s from across the room But I got a broom And I’m about to slap some roaches

Triumphant Choices (Louis Toliver Jr - Swartz, LA)

When the rain clears The heat simmers down Working that 9 to 5 on repeat The true test starts in free time Are we too idle or go-getters? There are choices, we are them We are triumphant choices Catalyst for change or the same No shame when we rhyme with a name Every Olympian was born human It’s an amazing thing to see humans Rise to the occasion, be triumphant So in your free time make choices Triumphant choices
