The way I see myself sometimes..
I bathe myself, but retain the sin. Baptise me. Please, don't look within. Tell me then, what I feel. Or which ones are real? Pretend that you know. Feelings dissected Needs rejected Keeping eyes straight ahead Ignore what may be found I slept content On the frozen ground Satisfied that is where I belong Always felt More wrong then right Days full of pain give birth to same. I knew then that I was still alive Much more to fear of the numbness that comes. Switches inside going off, going on. Pain to nothing Nothing to pain Cut me... Would I bleed? And numbness my friend shall always interceed.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
