Sometimes Slam poetry sounds like psychosis thoughts to me and idk if that makes sense or is intentional but sometimes it seems like theres no connection but there is if you frame it right and thats so wild and cool to me. Anyways, slam poetry is cool

I adore slam poetry so much, it's so impactful and leaves such a message to me, sure, I wasn't homophobic at all but the emotion in getting your point across is insane. With drama and acting I could only wish to be able to sound like this, I love slam poetry for just being raw emotion
