If you feel like it, please read the poem "slam-style"; I'm working on an anti-bullying campaign with my 13 year-old pupils. I would like to add some music to the audio you'll record for me. The project is for them to write their own slam-poem. Thanks a lot!
I hate the way
I hate the way you kick and punch
I hate the way you steal my lunch
I hate the way you always stare
I hate the way you always swear
I hate the way you think you’re strong
I hate the way you think I’m wrong
Telling me I am weak
Doesn’t make you stronger
Telling me I’m ugly
Doesn’t make you prettier.
I am here to tell you
I won't let your words hurt.
‘Cause whenever I fall,
Then, I rise from the dirt.
So unless you have something
Positive to say,
Just keep your mouth shut
Or please, go away.
Maybe I didn't win,
Maybe I didn’t place,
But I tried really hard
And I finished the race.
I set a personal best,
Which makes me feel good.
Today, I did much better
Than I thought I ever could.
Hi. This is an awesome message! hope this recording is good!
