Introducing...

If you guys have been keeping up with me, you'll know that I went to Minnesota this past Christmas break. While on my trip, I actually got up in front of people and performed a poem. For the first time since like middle school. It's not that I'm afraid of talking in public, that's easy. But when I have to perform a poem that I wrote, it's like I'm sharing a piece of me with the audience. I really do take my emotions and thoughts and transform them into words that are intricately woven together to inflict a certain reaction to my listeners. I want you to hear the passion, pain, and thought that went into every word selection.

If you've never read any of my poems, just go to the top of the page and click on the tab titled "My mind jumble." Many of them are posted on there. Sorry if there are spelling or grammatical errors. I just forget to go back and correct them.

Below is the video of my first performance. I had no idea my friend was recording. I was kind of sad that I didn't get my first time perform on camera, but I was pleasantly surprised earlier this week. The name of the poem was "It's my time."  How did I do for my first time?

Side note: You can skip to 3:30 if you don't want to listen to the kid before me.
