Most people that know me, know that I'm really into spoken word. So here's a peek into my literary poetic side. Staceyann Chin is an amazing Jamaican poet (and I'm not being biased because I'm Caribbean!) This woman is amazing! I'm a firm believer that poetry is raw emotion manifested through words. This poem, entitled 'If only out of vanity', is just that; and the delivery is equally as enthralling. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Here's my favorite line:
"I want to go down in history in a chapter marked miscellaneous because the writers could find no other way to categorize me. In this world where classification is key, I want to erase the straight lines so I can be me." - Staceyann Chin
