Speak Up - Stand Out - Stay Creative @johnnyanomaly - Tumblr Blog

Nevaeh LeBoeuf is my oldest daughter and very special guest this week. At nine years old she has big dreams and an even bigger heart. She is an aspiring singer, musician, and actress who involuntarily stands out due to a port wine stain birthmark on her face but she has some encouraging advice for those who, like her, may feel left out sometimes. To quote her major influence Taylor Swift, "If you are lucky enough to be different, don't ever change."

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

#TBT to #2015 when I made the attempt to record and produce my first album, a collection of spoken word poetry under the name #BoyOnceBlind. “Inspired by Tragedy” was a fun and frustrating experience for me, but I learned a lot during that process and although I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the end result, it felt great to have accomplished something like that. I cringe when I hear the way I performed those poems but nonetheless, I’m still proud of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsL3xXQBCCQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x6y6964l67tp
