Judge Me Not (Annette Redmond Walters - Lafayette, LA)

  Judge not my smoldering soul- Strong ambition brought me where I stand; Bringing ambivalence to the world, Oblivious to your indolent being. Judge not my indulgent soul- I only want connection, take my hand; Through our hearts divinity has swirled, Wanting to be glorified but you are fleeing. Judge not my fastidious soul- My feats will dilute my faults; Cruelty has somewhat incapacitated me, Yet indelibly has strengthened my tolerance. Judge not my incorruptible soul- I’ve gained much indifference to ludicrous assaults; Loyalty and love are all that is needed to see The power of a lulling remembrance.

Tell It to My Heart (Louis Toliver Jr. - Swartz, LA

  Am I good enough?  It's hard to tell  You don't look me in the eyes anymore Maybe we're over Maybe one day I'll accept that Another Christmas is here  There's no presents under the tree Not from you  Just one from me to me  A box with my heart in it
