My Dark Circles (Slam Poem)

     I finally had inspiration recently, of course this inspiration came at 4am but no matter. Some editing later I got a poem I'm content with. It's called My Dark Circles. I feel like many people can relate to the whole getting asked if your tired when you decide not to wear makeup one day. This poem is about the story behind my dark circles, metaphorically and literally.

This is a video of me slamming My Dark Circles.

It Means He Likes You (Slam Poem)

     All my life I've been writing and recently I decided to pick it up and try to write about current issues. My focus currently is feminism and issues related to it. This poem was published in my high school literary magazine, The Hickman Review. This isn't the first time my work was published but this is a piece I'm very proud of. I was able to slam it at a local art studio in my town and I got nothing but good reviews.

This video is me slamming the poem I wrote called It Means He Likes You.
