"Society's Fix"
by Taylor Colbert
"Are you depressed?
Here's a pill.
Are you crazy?
Here's a pill.
Are you hurting?
Here's a pill.
Are you fat?
Here's a pill.
Are you skinny?
Here's a pill.
Oh, you want a pill for
no good reason? Here you go!
Hey there, my name is society!
I'm here to give you some pills.
There's nothing wrong with you, you say?
Oh, well that doesn't matter!
After you take this, there'll be
plenty wrong with you!
And what do you do then? That's simple!
You come to me and I will give you "legal"
pills that are basically no better than
the illegal stuff.
I, society, will fix you.
I will create your problem, and make you
believe I'm going to fix it with this tiny
terror that you think is a cure.
In reality it's going to do more harm than good.
Go get your pills!
Don't you want to fit in
with me? Society makes no exceptions, you know.
Are you happy?
Well here's a pill."

History Is Never Made By Those Who Behave
We are taught of former glories
The burden of our history
Weighs heavy on infant shoulders
As it does our enemies
But I feel safe and protected
On this the day of the Moon
Unlike the remaining six days
When impending horror consumes
Wind chill woes on the moors this morn
Freedom spoke in a foreign tongue
I did not understand her chants
Percussion did not help her song
The stench of death, the drums of war
In time with the beat my heart gave
History is never written
By the flocks that choose to behave
So raise hell but come together
Unite as we are all the same
Keep the lion's heart within you
Your fiery temper learn to tame
Literature
Society's Freaks
This world is cruel
if you're different from the rules,
but there is a place
for unknown faces,
where the freaks unite
ignoring society's insult-packed bites
They fall
and crawl.
Yet they don't give in
to this world's sins.
They keep their march steady,
they're always ready
to get up, ignoring the disapproval everyone sends
til the pain and darkness is at an end.
One day, you will have to choose a path
along with the sins, whether greed or wrath,
choose the path different from the rest,
because that is where you'll shine best.
Literature
She Believed
I stumble through my mind,
Weakened by the pain of years.
I always search but cannot find
The source of all my bitter tears.
I see a light, an anchor, a hope;
I limp faster, relieved by the sight.
I found a gentle, downward slope—
Like a rescue from a blight.
I lean on you, no longer afraid;
Finally I have found relief.
Tears dry, memories fade,
Like wind carries a wilted leaf.
But in the end, it wasn't true—
You held my heart yet let it die.
My anchor became my noose;
My trust was blinded to your lie.
How could I be so ignorant?
You pledged to never leave my side.
There's none to blame but myself—
"She belie
