I'll quote myself on this one:
When spoken word becomes redundant
I'll be there giving you a little more than love and revolution...
I've seem to have misplaced my passion for 'poetry', have you seen it?
When things become too 'cliche', I usually attempt to 'stay away'.
Cliches make me feel uncomfortable sometimes, it's like stereotypes, you think you know what to expect. Poetry has become one of those things that everybody wants to do, and there's no problem with that...it's just that, I can't tell the difference between truth and passion, okay and phenomenal. And there's an element I'm searching for. Yes, we've used similes and metaphors, but I've got to find some way to write my truth, truthfully, so I can reach and have people truthfully really captivated.
I fancy that awe factor, that can't get enough of that, I want more, recite right here in the hallway-in the cafeteria-afterschool....I lost it somewhere down the line when I lost myself.
to be a 'poet'...I've heard it too many times and I'm not fond of the title. too cliche. too cliche. spoken word artist.?. too cliche too cliche...? idk
And it's like...when you've seen it butchered so many times, you think...what is this, some kind of joke?
I'm not going to stop writing, I'm just taking a break [from the focus] until I find that element that is missing. That extra piece that makes, extraordinary. Spoken Word....spoken word....I've got to focus on me, and finding that missing element...I'm about to enter a point in my life, and there's no turning back to adolescence. So, I'm moving forward. Tomorrow I have an open mic to attend. I'm part of the feature. I'll go there and we'll see what happens...
tbc.
