"Caught In Numbers" by Elexer Lyra

Caught In Numbers

By Elexer Lyra

Caught,

In-between fighting,

For my individuality,

And fighting,

For my future.

In the end,

Will I only be a number?

The number

Of tattoos I have,

The number

Of piercings I can have,

The number

Of how many times I think I've messed up

While others say it's okay.

Statistics make up this world,

And,

Make me feel stone-faced.

How do I make the statistics work for me,

Instead of,

Making my heart race

Under the intensity

That I will never be good enough?

Which is funny,

To me,

Because I think everyone else is.

Let Us Not Stay Quiet

Let Us Not Stay Quiet

By: Elissa Rosenthal

 

Let us not stay quiet,

and keep each other up.

Let us be passionate,

when our passion for others is gone.

Let us not stay quiet,

about our current love.

Let us chase away the naysayers,

with our hugs.

Let us kiss in public,

like other couples do.

Let us ignore the glances,

that burn into our souls. 

Sparkling Nothingness

Sparkling Nothingness

By Elissa Rosenthal

Complacent populations stand around a fire made of sparkling nothingness.

They claim a need for beauty that presents no emotion.

They conceal wonder created by the unknown.

Contorting their natural instincts, 

they flail themselves and others,

in search for meaning.

Cannibalistic,

conquests,

of mind and body.

Stair into the crystallized nothingness.

Let the corruption seep into your veins.

Contort your natural instincts and flail.
