Challenge
Avante Garde.
Write the weirdest thing you can. Break rules of structure, break bones, break bread with the Pope, I don't care. Make it weird and make it good. Whichever entry is weirdest, in the most creative way, I will give the prize to.
Of what they would say
I was afraid,
Of what he would say
Of what she would say
I wanted love,
Anything but beauty he said
Anything but my own race she said
I felt judged,
She's not skinny I said
She's not chubby I said
Why do I feel this way?
Her legs are not smooth enough I said
Her laugh isn't good enough I said
She deserves better
My thoughts never escape me
My thoughts seem to hate me
A war within myself
Am I wrong?
Am I cursed?
I am my own swan song
I am my own hearse
I am meant to be alone,
My smile is not worthy
My body is too hairy
My personality is unexciting
My love is dieing
All because,
Of what she would say
Of what he would say.
