Spoken Word
It was just a few days ago that I went to an Open Mic. I mean its not the first time but each time I get out, I can't help but feel inspired, motivated, amazed at the talent shown and definately moved. Among many acts usually performed, Spoken word is one of the few that I always look forward to.

ReplyDeleteJust looking at this makes me realize how passionate you are about this. Open mic sounds like a great idea to showcase who you really are and it shows what you like to do the most. Keep up the good work.
