Two Beautiful Suicides (Tyler Hebert-Sunset, LA)

  Two hearts that beat for guidance.    no longer grieved for acceptance.    forced to live in a stone paved society.    They convinced themselves to deprive humanity.    As one they would protest;  an unforgiving action.    Their hearts gave into a solitude arrest and forgave religion.    They wore the father in honor for all who judged.    The  holy ghost that sailed their blood was smudged.    They drowned together by bricks created from shame.    For their innocent male to male love was to blame.    They were accused of false love;  A degraded sexuality.    Ignored screams of their lifestyle; A haunted fatality.    Their once angelic souls, tonight, turned vile.    Their tears praised each others reflection in denial.    The vessel that once stored their pride was being set free.    In the wind they l...

You Will Forever Be Mine (Taylor Coen - Lafayette, LA)

  Glimmering eyes and gilded hair I gaze upon. You look away for your innocence has Been revealed. Did I take it away from thee? Or did thou take it away from thy self? You tell me to look in the mirror But all I see is a man. How can we see different images Through the same window? I look upon thee and see memories Of another day. Open fields of red and white And yellow and pink And as many shades that are in between, We sit below the stems of Beauty And stare at the sky passing by. I look upon thee and see memories That is captured for another day. Today, the Roses smell Oh so sweet. I know thou adore the Springtime, And the flowers are blooming. One more chance and I can show thee . But the moment is passed And I no longer breathe… Your scent.

This Dark Water (Sasha Massey - Lafayette, LA)

    Each day I sing and perform I count as victory over blatant favoritism and over all a system built to fail us.   Something setup to remind us we are other. Wrong. Ugly. So much that we have to fight to learn a history hidden. And love how we are made while everything around us screams change. Straighten your hair. We tan you bleach....She was a warm brown. Blue undertones. I remember her.   She sang to me. Her favorite thing was to make me sing along to the Reading Rainbow theme song when I was little. When she was still here.   Her absence hangs over me like an overcast sky. Pushing my feet down harder with every step. The coming rain is pressed to my temples and crowding my mind. Making my knees buckle. Crying in the shower where no one can hear me but God. Father. Silent. Always listening. Watching me slam into emotional walls, stand up and covered in new scars. Where is she?   Forgiveness is not for them. It is for you. Tha...

Calm (Jordan Levers - Lafayette, LA)

And I'm calm Untouchably separate from others' actions Continuously giving love despite others' retractions Unexplainable the sense of peace that follows presence A powerful sense of self has taken up full residence A flow reconnecting the soul to potential energies Untapped centers of perceived external synergy Asymmetry balanced within no longer limits me Acceptance a voiceless, timeless remedy I pass ethereal through the swords of imagined enemies In my perception, long held perspective has shifted to one of constant movement Acknowledging the inevitability of my imperfections, I embrace inner improvement
