performance poetry

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

No.
Just say no. If only it were that simple No. Only 2 letters. N. O. A simple word. No. A 2 letter word that is so hard to say.

An emotional exhaustion poem.
Pitter, patter, droplets flow, Strained and weary, continue to go Push and wrestle, through pain despite, Through unnoticed work, and constant spite,

changing the VI(You)
I asked God for freedom, got it ... now I’m consumed by indecisiveness. fact is, I’m still not free. Everyone else’s opinion still haunts me. Currently studying to know solitude as detachment with Detachment being characterized as true freedom & independence — True solitude comes from knowing your whole even when you’re empty. vulnerability with the act of accepting you’re weak — might be the greatest strength. But to understand that weakness manifest when you fight alone describes bravery! To be brave, one must walk in their humility facing that their true self is on the other side of fear! All Fear to be just a wave of passion shadowed by anxiety which is curious feelings about a moment that doesn’t yet exist! Life can be so light, but we must strip from the darkness that persist. How do we strip from the dark when comfort lies there? Comfort lies in all the lies we’ve unknowingly covered one another in ... so to uncover again, we must shake up the blend!!

Challenges of life

Lik'n like'n Chocolate
BONBONS AND TRUFFLES of up to four layers of chocolate in five textures lined the bakery shelves amid posh displays of Lava cake, six-layer cheesecake with chocolate liqueur drizzle trickling down the sides and chocolate non-pareils sprinkled across the top. As I brushed past the other attendees for that night's poetry reading I couldn't avoid noticing one tall slender standing at the choco counter with his Latte and double blonde brownie and raspberry drizzle. My eyes flashed a smile at the selection I was yet to determine for my own tempest. So many flavors to dribble over! Instead of selecting my sip for the night, I sat near the mic and reviewed my selection. Soon enough, it was my stage. I rose and confidently took the mic in hand and read...
