I will not show you my lips, or eyes
I am tired of silent wasted lips
and sights that mildew red and yellow
at this tie-dye life you offer
if you could see these teeth
my, my, I have such sharpness
stewing underneath this hot and humid hate
best you not attempt to part
this mouth nor hidden eyes
you may be magnet to all
that boils beneath

Very well done. Best of luck in the contest.

Love the start of this. That first line! ... I want to steal it, alas I am too honest, so I will endear myself to simply using it for future inspiration.

Very powerful words, my sister, for such a cute picture.
I think there are some underlying situations brewing within your words. A great message you have written here.
Best of luck in the contest.

Great strength and metaphor in your words, stand alone without the photo, which is indeed amazing.
