performance poetry

Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.

Written just after removing a hellish coat of dust.
Do you feel any pleasure? I feel relaxed. (though)I suppose I don’t really want to leave you, -And every time I go to ‘that place’ I do-and it could be that I’m trying not to. For a positive affect. A warm feeling.

Apparently
I can't seem to get from underneath, this unshakeable feeling of hopelessness Apparently, if others have it worse, than what's the point of my brokenness

There You Were
Sweat runs like a river down both sides of my red face. Pain washes up and over my abdomen racing to meet the river.

It was raining when you called me through a window I can see I was hurting like a cold breeze piercing deeper underneath
