WOW, I am not familiar with slam poetry, but from what I do know, I believe it is some kind of contest where poets recite their work...
I see that we all let the words flow sometimes, most of my poetry is just that, it isn't constructed over time, most of it comes when I need it...and I don't really think about it much unless it is for a particular contest, it just comes as I feel it.
This piece hit me hard, and I would have commented before, except I wasn't really sure of how to...its deep and on a personal level for me. It was hard to read, as it brought back memories and had me thinking quite hard.
However it is raw and powerful, and speaks more truth than most would like to admit, there is a harsh reality in these words and that itself blew me away
You are a talent MA, and this was just another piece that I can't get over, this is already in my favourites, and shall now be nominated
