Beautiful Rage. You see, you are fuming with madness and want to say nothing short of an insult but you decide to write instead. However, it's your natural ability as a poet to invite some beautiful words in, and with them comes the lovely rhythm. In short, can you write a lovely un-rude poem to express something that is downright rude? Tag it with #beautifulrage

Rather be Lonely

Rather be lonely

than be like you

laughing by the lockers

whispering when I pass.

What makes you act like that?

Are differences so bad?

What crime in your conviction

warrants sentence to expulsion,

solitary, repulsion?

To be true to myself -

your right can't take that,

it’s all I have left.

But I confess

I am afraid

You’ll try to steal my liberty.
