2022 Barrett Winner
Honorable Mention Darcy Pastor
Nepantilism
Divided in two
Choque de mi conciencia
inner self troubles.
Choque
What should I choose now?
Cultural Identities
Choose so you can bow.
Transcendent
This duality
Accept the power of it
the reality.
Bocacalle
Sal, mestiza ya
Do what you’d like, it’s your choice
Solo TU cuerpo.
Homology
No place to call home
Queer or not, does it matter?
Invalid always.
Womanhood
It is easy right?
Just to get told what to do
Welcome womanhood.
Quetzalcoatl
Transform from the dirt.
Como tu dios Azteca,
Del suelo, fly high.
Price
In between my legs
Does this define who I am?
Is this what I’m worth?
Concepcion mía.
I’m more, Yo soy yo.
Mi conciencia es esta
I’m myself. Me, I.
Hypocrisy
So powerful yet,
It’s your own self-doubt perhaps,
Why are you scared amor?
Charrito
What did I say wrong?
I just said the truth, Macho?
Llora con mamá.
Madonna
You fuck around too
Llámame puta cabron.
What’s the difference?
General norms
Are you happy now?
Do you like to watch my pain?
Oppression feels good
Take your bullshit and go.
Not anymore, I won't
I always liked cherries more
Take your bullshit, go.
