I could tell when the video first opened she was nervous. This young girl is Lily Myers I felt the need to do another poem by a female. I was happy that I did. This young women is remarkable, saying the differences between male and female. How females are expected to be tiny and men aren't, I also found it amazing that this young women knows so much for being so young, and all this was unintentionally passed down from her mother. Even the crowd shows that they are shocked by her knowledge and how much she has experienced. The audience's "oohs and ahhs" and each one brings her own confidence on the stage and she grows more comfortable as she speaks more and more of her memorized words. "A fugitive stealing calories to which she does not feel entitled." I wish her mother heard this poem and learned what it is her daughter is going through and what she unintentionally passed down.
Words are powerful when written down, but even more so when they are spoken. Shane Koyczan, a native Canadian, is a spoken word poet. I will share with you his poems and what I take from them. Spoken word has been around for many centuries and usually focuses on the words themselves and the way they sound, the gestures that a person uses with the words, and facial expressions. It brings feelings back to words in a society where technology has muted them.

"Maybe This Is Why My House Feels Bigger Every Time I Return"
I could tell when the video first opened she was nervous. This young girl is Lily Myers I felt the need to do another poem by a female. I was happy that I did.
