I love writing and listening to slam poems. It's a great way for me to release stress. I want to see some of yours! Any kind of slam poem that you've written and want to share, post it here.

Speak

Speak

Speak with words that create sentences that flow into paragraphs that melt into essays. Speak with words so bold you could never be told you're wrong. If you are wrong, be wrong, be who you want, believe what you want, live like you want

Accept no limits and fear no disease

Death is a trap that everyone falls into and when you fall in, there's no coming out

So live. Live like you've never loved and love like you've never been broken

Say what you mean and mean what you say

At the end of each day realize tomorrow's a new one, a new chance, a new dream to be lived. When you dream don't wake up, keep dreaming and dreaming and dreaming until you've dreamt up every possibility. The world is yours and you are someone's world

Live valiantly but safely, for there are people who love you

If you think no one does, check again, look into the eyes of the one trying to love you and let them in. See that they only want you to be happy, tell them you appreciate them, let them know their efforts don't go unnoticed

Teach them to read with their heats and love with their ears, show them that not everything is okay, because most of its not. Tell them when their words hurt

If you are struggling don't be afraid, most of us are. The world will be cruel if you let it. So don't. Breath in the good and exhale the bad. Know that you will not be remembered by your mistakes, but by the greatness you were

If you think there is no good in you, look in the mirror, keep looking, see how your hair falls in line with out trying, know that acne will clear up, you are beautiful no matter what the monsters in your head and lives say. Wake up in the morning and chose to be happy. Wake up and tell yourself you deserve to be happy.
