Flawless Imperfection (Avery Richard - Monroe, LA)

Why do I find myself here again?  I have an idea of why but scared to admit it.  I’ve been suppressing it for years.  Now that other things have built up, it isn’t as easy to shove deep below the surface.  I feel myself careening out of control, spiraling toward the depth that may not be overcome.  My substance abuse has gotten to a point that recognizing myself is getting more and more difficult.  Changing ways of administration has contributed, if not propelled, this descent.  I try my best not to face things that are difficult emotionally.  I know I’m avoidant…it is something I hate to admit.  There’s been things lately that have piled up…everything with mama, Mary moving out,  the lease here coming to an end, Mawmaw’s health…it all has become too much to deal with so I don’t deal with it and instead cover the pain with my addiction.  I guess I should touch on each of the situations… First and one of the hardest things for me is ...

Dysfunctional (Taylor Coen - Lafayette, LA)

  The flower sits before the tree, it is like an antagonist of nature. The rainbows fall against the clouds: colors burst into a buffet of light. Rain travels down into a puddle of water portraying the sight of an ugly ox. The strength is weak; it collapses to the ground, life flows out like a stream of consciousness. Back to the daisy and the overpowering oak, A lightning bolt strikes both. The war fades over, the mist evaporates,  and sunshine gli mmers down upon a hidden valley.

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.
