A Poetry Slam Called I Don't Slam

This spoken word piece is for anyone who has ever felt like they're performing in a room they don't belong in.
For the ones who followed the crowd, turned around, and found themselves alone. Alone like I felt when I joined a slam competition and had never performed anything like that before.
This is my first poetry slam performance, shared with you as a reminder that you too can do whatever scares you. And if you feel trapped, you'll find a way out, eventually.
For everyone who has knocked on doors that kept slamming shut, bleeding their knuckles raw, wondering if they'd ever find fresh air.
It's about time you stopped chasing.
