Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.
Dear Father
I wish I were as happy as I seem. I wish I were the perfect daughter you wanted me to be. I wish I truly believed in ... myself. I wish upon a star. Growing up with all I knew was my father as my protector, provider, my friend. But times have gotten tough and your little girl is growing up. I have to build my own strength. Try to stand on the two feet you helped to walk. Time to move on to grow. Im running without making a move I'm stuck in this one place to protect you from yourself.! Over the years the roles have switched and I'm the mother to you but as I spread my wings to fly I wish you no disappointment!

Moving On
It’s bittersweet. At one point after you’ve moved on, you’ll look over at the person you had once been in pain over losing, and you’ll feel absolutely nothing. You’ll realize that all of the hurt and sadness is gone…It vanished as if it never existed, and the two of you were never more than just friends.
