-Hiding behind the glass- by Kayla
I have to be 100% perfect
You will never hear me say I am worth the fight
because the truth is
I’m not good for anyone
don’t try to convince me that
I’m beautiful and perfect the way I am
Because I know
I am an ugly, worthless failure
You will never hear me say
“I will be okay”
Because the truth is
No one will care unless I’m stunning or popular
It is a lie that
“Everything is okay”
I tell you that
I’m happy
The truth is
I can’t stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore
It would be false if I said
I am confident and feel good in my own skin
If you take a closer look you can easily see that
I wanna be skinny like the other pretty girls
Never in a million years will you hear me say
I am beautiful
Feminism - by Austin
Women are selfish
I refuse to believe that
Woman have importance
Because the truth is
Women weren’t made to learn
You shouldn’t say
Women can help
What you should say is
Women can’t be trusted
It’s wrong to think
Women have rights
What I'm trying to tell you is
Women have no use
Nobody should think
Women have voices
What people need to understand is
Women weigh men down
It's a lie when you say
Women deserve equal opportunities
The truth is
Men have all the control
Never think that
Women play a valuable role in societyGay Rights - by Erika
Gay marriage is NEVER acceptable.
Don’t ever tell me that
These people have rights and deserve them.
Can you really admit that?
“These people are abominations.”
They should never, in a million years, be able to marry.
I don’t care if you think that
Everyone should be able to love who they want.
“Maybe you need to accept that there are peculiar people in the world!”
You may say that, but you don’t believe it.
“All people need to be like clones!”
But they aren’t.
These people are worse than murderers.
You may say that
Gay marriage is incredible.
But in reality
“Gay marriage doesn’t deserve to be legal!”
These people don’t belong in this atmosphere.
Don’t ever disagree with me and scream that
They should be loved and respected.
These people don’t deserve to live.
And you will NEVER hear me say that
Gay marriage is acceptable.
Now read this from the bottom up.
