Stupid Dress
Cinderella, Cinderella
don't be jealous
your sister's snotty
dress is hideous
All puff, no pizzazz
All style, no taste
(All corset, no breath)
All ugly, all ugly
Godey, Godey
mold our dresses
Not our bodies
No more
giant purple marshmallows
No more
walking blobs of color
No more
hoops of hell
No more
lace, anyplace
Black Dress, Black Dress
you are death
advertised in the mirror
as the best of the best of the best of the best
bribing with a
shower of beads to appeal
Appeal? Appeal?
Pretty shiny things
Only appeal to those who breathe

Poetry: Rage
Anger outbursts as a thirst for something else.
Something that it's once forgotten & it once knew.
Rebelling against
It starts as a slow rumble
Builds till my breath is short
I feel my world start to tumble
I know it has come too far to abort
I
by Jack Ivey
Rage aborts the future
In violent belief
A cataclysmic photograph
Albeit often brief
Bursting veins of razors
Slashing
by Chad Mcdade
Red fog clouds my mind
Blood courses madly from a raging heart
Body trembles and eyes but blind
Grand desires of brutality
Before a whisper-
Now runs like water
Out of locked openings
Pours out silence
Tender substance
Scatters like sunshine
