Linguistic Outcast
By Allyssa HerleinMany people can’t fathom
my language
or why I communicate
in a manner different
than them.
They fear oddity,
panicking at the individual
who will violate
the common order
Thoughts Speak Louder Than Words
By Cassandra GriffingAll eyes on those who shimmer with dialogue
All eyes on those with tongues aflame,
blinded
by their empty words
that block genuine insight.
They Don't Know
By Drew Gilworth“Work Harder,
Do better,
Study more,
Don’t act stupid,
Pay attention.”
These are the things that run through my mind nonstop,
But they don’t know.
I call myself dummy after dumb blonde,
But they don’t know.
