The Next Chapter || Spoken Word Poetry

This is a spoken word poetry I have made two years ago. I wrote and recorded it for a Facebook spoken poetry contest that I was lucky enough to win. It is a piece that's really close to my heart because I wrote it when I was in a very dark time and it was almost impossible to write something uplifting. It was like trying to inspire and motivate someone when you don't feel alright yourself and in this case, that someone was me as well. It might have been about failed relationships but it surprisingly helped me a lot. The main lesson of the poem is about not giving up and not letting bad experiences define your whole life and identity. It was a piece of advice I needed for myself. It was just so ironic that it came from me. This piece would surely make me remember those days and how a point of my life that was so sad and devastating would create a beautiful remembrance of what had been.
