oneupdateatatime:

I remember finding poetry so utterly ridiculously boring and unengaging back in high school and I feel like that’s a pretty common attitude to have. But having learned about spoken word poetry I’ve really gotten into it and can see how this is an art form that is so fucking powerful and energetic and engaging in ways that high school failed to demonstrate. Fuck the dusty old pages with forced rhymes - give me someone spilling out their emotions about grief and death on a stage or public space any day.
