Palpable Demons scholarship slam poem
the wind is ferocious on mountain tops in Tibet India
the wind encases you, swirls around you
wind flies into your eyes and as they flew into mine
memories trickled into my brain like the wind that wouldn't go away
locked into the bathroom with two full grown men
or even just a few weeks ago I met
a girl locked into a box for a month or another
who held a shot man who bled to death
if only I could just hold them!
but wait stand firm
as I dig my heels into the ground
you can keep your stance the wind isn't to bad!
smell the flowers!
but I'm not in Tibet; no wind swirling around me
It's my happy place
a place I can go in my head to reset
I'm here in front you all as I try to get you guys to realize
as we go through life with our mind on rewind
no matter what happens
the power of breath
squash the giant of trauma into tiny little trolls
nothing can take away our inner space
just breath, stand straight amidst wind
find that still place no one can take away from you
and just breath
