I always go back to this poem, it perfectly exemplifies the rawness of poetry, the breathless silence words evoke, and how we feel inspired in the end, without knowledge of why, of how. The art of spoken word poetry captivates me, not only because of its manipulation of words crafted into metaphors and rhymes, but also its ability to reveal the struggles and aspirations within one that allows others to grasp a glimpse into one’s life. With words, each person carries a story, and it is a good one.
