Just a Sneak Peak Poem: The Poetic High

History taught my words a profound lesson: that the struggle may be long but the high of getting there feels so much better. So I strive for better...

I still remember the first time I performed this poem: it was my first time on stage at my university and basically the beginning of a chapter. This poem is also a sign that sometimes I think I could be rapper (insert laughing emoji). This is not the full poem, just a snippet. Call it a taste of what is yet to come. Keep on the lookout for the full version of this poem. Shout out to my friend, Meklit, for taking the video! It was her idea and I appreciate it :).
