Force
Blindly guiding yourself can be tough.
I had to love
It made me dumb
Couldn’t find the way
Out of this place
I screwed myself
So I chose to lie
I deceived myself
To make everyone happy
I was alone
Alcohol the soother
Mucus oozed out my nose
Lines that made me sublime
Almost killed a man
Lost my mind, my soul
I almost sold it
I had to love
When feeling down
Couldn’t find a way
Lacerated my heart
My aura bled
My drama
Futile in this asylum
Here's my middle finger
And let me linger

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
