      Nathan Robituson not just talent to write but to preform without loosing place or pace or posture! She makes this poem not just with words! But with her whole being!Otherwise it's just a gimmick. Instead it's greatness!

    This poem accurately represents how your brain thinks on anxiety. You have jerky half-finished thoughts that cut deep but you keep talking to yourself, a run on sentence of consciousness as you bleed.

    Her word play is amazing it seems like there are two poems in one 1: An angry, broken hearted girl who is in love but is afraid to be and the 2: a soft hearted girl who can't wait to be in her loves arms

    Things I am floored by:
    - The message (obviously)
    - The original literary device she came up with
    - The writing skill it took to execute it
    - The delivery???

    For anyone who asked for this poem written out, here ya go
    Talking is a matter of convincing this tangled mouth to produce something coherent. But It only works-
    Sometimes I don’t know what I’m going to say-
    Next time I see you I’m going to want to be-
    Honest to God I’m trying. I-
    Promise me you won’t leave without saying goodbye, I-
    Wouldn’t it be nice if I could keep the same line of-
    Thoughts, are just wreckage, they just scatter. They’re just-
    Everywhere I go I’m reminded of the time I let a boy tell me he loved me without letting him know I knew he was-
    Lying next to you is the quietest my mind has ever been. All this dissonant noise finds peaceful harmony, and for a moment, I’m free to breathe. I think about telling you this but I’m worried it would ruin-
    Everything happens for a reason, but I don’t know the reason behind that-
    Choice is a difficult thing with Anxiety. I’m always choosing between the lesser of two evils and there’s always-
    Danger is the familiar taste of a poorly lit street, keys in-
    Handing over all my secrets is like giving someone with trembling fingers a loaded gun and putting it against my heart-
    Beats are a funny thing. The bodies language of choice. Thousands of wordless signals passed through the skin. I wonder how many of my secrets your body has intercepted. And if any of them have been the right-
    One day, I’m going to take this wild garden mouth and make it grow something-
    Soft does not mean weak, it just means gentle-
    Men with sharp teeth know how to draw blood without you-
    Notice me, please. I’m right-
    Here is everything I haven’t learned to let go of everything I’ve lost. The only thing I want back is-
    Time has a funny way of warping the memory of warmth, clouding what you used to-
    Remember the first time I cried? My body shaking apart. And your hands the steady net. I kept spilling sorry like an accident, like a cut tongue. Like it was the safest way to see you go. You didn’t leave. I’ve stopped waiting for you to. Trust I’m learning is a sentence not easily spoken but one worth saying. I’m trying. Somewhere in this coward’s mouth is a brave hearts confession, please, tell me you hear it. I don’t know how long this clarity will-
    Last time I was home, my dad asked why I wasn’t dating anyone so I lied and said no one was interesting-
    Enough men have left with pieces of me still under their teeth that I no longer remember the taste of feeling-
    Whole armies have fallen to poor planning, so my mouth is just stumbling to keep me from-
    Falling in secret is the loveliest form of-
    Self-destruction is the sound of two people drowning the warning signs under the sheets ignoring the way it screams-
    No person ever asked for details of what he did. Did I lose you?

    "Everywhere I'm reminded of the time I let a boy tell me he loved me without letting him know I knew he was
    Lying
    Next to you is the quietest my mind has ever been"
    This line hit me so hard. Its crazy how I resonate with this poem so deeply.

      When I was a teenager I was at a weekend-long festival, and me and my friend met two boys there and we paired off and did all the teenage stuff (holding hands, kissing, that’s it). It was fun, we were kids.
      One of those days me and the guy (can’t even remember his name now) were having a little session and he told me he loved me. And in that moment I thought that was the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in their lives. He had known me for a day or two, we had nothing in common, there was no love there and it was the most bullshit line.
      I went to say that but what came out was “I love you too”. I must have said it out of awkwardness, or maybe fear because we were in the middle of the woods completely alone. But if I ever had to pick a sentence I wish I could take back, it would be that. I regret it every time it pops up in my head.

    Ever since I watched "Almosts", I loved Bianca.
    Her choice of words is methodical, her voice tone alterations are opportune, her body language is demonstrative, and everything she does during her three-minute bits from pouring her feelings, to transitioning between intensities, to simply leaving the podium is perfect.
    Though I do appreciate impulsiveness in spoken word shows, I find myself fond of aptitude more... Bianca has both

    The Lyrics:
    Talking is a matter of convincing this tangled mouth to produce something coherent, but it only works sometimes
    I don't know what I'm going to say next time I see you.
    I'm going to want to be honest to God, I'm trying. I promise if you'll leave without saying goodbye, I wouldn't be nice if I can keep the same mind of thoughts are just wrecked, they're just scattered
    They're just everywhere I go.
    I'm reminded of a time I let a boy tell me he loves me without letting him know I knew he was lying.
    Next to you is the quietest my mind it has ever been.. All this distant noise finds peaceful harmony, for a moment, I'm free to breathe
    I think about telling you this, but I'm worried it would ruin. Everything happens for a reason but I don't know the reason behind the choice. Is a difficult thing with anxiety, I'm always choosing between the lesser of two evils and there's always danger. Is the familiar taste of a poorly lit street keys in handing over all of my secrets is like giving someone with trembling fingers a loaded gun and putting it against my heartbeats
    Are a funny thing..
    Body's language of choice; thousands of wordless signals passed through the skin, I wonder how many of mine your body had intercepted and if any of them have been the right.
    One day, I'm going to take this wild garden mouth and make it grow something soft does not mean weak it just means gentleman with sharp teeth. Know how to draw blood without me notice it please.
    I'm right here is everythingq I haven't learnt to let go of everything I've lost.
    The only thing I want back is time, has a funny way of warping the memory of warmth, clouding what you used to remember the first time I cried..
    My body was shaking apart, your hands steady then.
    I kept spilling sorry like an accident, like a cut tongue, like it was the safest way to see you go. You didn't leave. I've stopped waiting for you too. Trust I'm learning is a sentence not easily spoken, one worth saying. Trying. Somewhere in this cowards mouth is a brave heart's confession. Please, tell me you hear it.I don't know how long this clarity will last time I was home, my dad asked me why I wasn't dating anyone so I lied and said no one was interesting enough men have left with prices of me still under their teeth that I no longer remember the taste of feeling. Whole armies have fallen to poor planning so my mouth is just stumbling to keep me from falling in secret is the loveliest form of self destruction is the sound of two people drowning under the warning signs under the sheets, ignoring the ignoring the way it screams, no person ever asked for details of what he did, did I lose you??

    Small details that makes you think of a hooking line, the line that leave your thoughts dangling with questions. It is upon this magical,mysterious and wonderful moment one start to fall in love with poetry.not just the spoken poem but the idea that was brought with it, it is the gap and intertwined words that seem coherent but still bring proper message.

    I Kept Spilling Sorry Like An Accident , Like A Cut Tongue , Like It Was The Safest Way To See You Go ... You Didn't Leave , I've Stopped Waiting For You Too . 'Trust' Is A Sentence Not Easily Spoken But One Worth Saying... I'm Trying ✊🏾 that hit home
