performance poetry
Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.
The Weight of Nothing, Something
Darkness, impenetrable intangible, casts its unrelenting shadow over me. Reprieve and relief have become obscure ideals, experiential relics of a past the memory of which slowly dissipates into nothing. People tend to misunderstand nothing. In its own cruel way, nothing is something. When it's your only something, you cling to it as I cling to it. I've long forgotten what it felt like to have something—anything worthy of pride and a sense of achievement. “True hope... is swift." "True hope is swift... and flies with swallow's wings. Kings it makes gods and meaner creatures kings." What is hope?

Fish Brick Cake - A First Baking Experience
She once tried to bake a cake. But it turned out like a mistake. It was burnt to a crisp. And tasted like a fishy fish! Sitting by the window, mom and I were enjoying pumpkin pie when my younger sister stormed into the kitchen. Snatching a slice of pumpkin pie, she told us that she was going to bake a cake - a very easy recipe she saw on YouTube. With that, she gathered the ingredients and turned to us, confidently stating that she didn't want any help.
