TRM Shares Their Space and Kind Words

An article written by Sopheak Sam, Communications Coordinator of The Revolving Museum.


"This year’s LYST (Lowell Youth Slam Team) bellowed raw stories - quirky, unrestrained, vulnerable, and full of honesty. Some newly-written and some of their best. Many teenage confessions that hold an emotional volume many of us may relate regardless of our years."

REFLECTION ON BRAVE NEW VOICES | SARA

"I was forced to break out of my comfort zone and trust myself and my potential, constantly being reminded that I was worth investing in, this was always my backbone."

DANG. I really don't know where to start in regards to this BNV San Francisco trip. I guess we have to start at the heart of the home which is our family. I am so grateful for everything that our family has done for each other. We have all grown so beautifully together and this whole entire year has been a blessing. Each show, poem, laugh, and hug has been for a purpose and each of these bonds have brought our family so incredibly close, and our journey that much more intricate. It is sort of unbelievable how perfect our family has been this year.

Throughout this school year I was challenged as a person in ways that would only help me grow. I was forced to break out of my comfort zone and trust myself and my potential, constantly being reminded that I was worth investing in, this was always my backbone. I was also challenged to trust people that I knew nothing of, but after being trusted by strangers its hard not to open up. I quickly found myself not being able to hold back my own story and even though I am still not fully okay with exposing myself I am becoming more comfortable with letting people into my life, even if they are capable of leaving at any given moment. "Healing is a process" and poetry is its partner. I've learned that it is okay to write for yourself and that it is also okay to share what you have written. This means not apologizing and making excuses for what you have written, but knowing that you wrote and there are always people to listen and meet you where you are at.

San Francisco was surreal. We didn't do too hot in the competition, but somehow we still made our way to final stage. And somehow on our way there we were recognized by our fellow poets. I've always thought I was easily forgettable, but being part of a team that was approached and wanted to be heard from was slightly unrealistic. It still is. 

This whole year with my family has made me into the young woman I am today, San Francisco was simply the "icing on the cake," 

I want to shout out a special, most sincere thanks to my coaches, who have always been there and will always be there; you guys are all anyone could ever ask for. And another thanks to my team who was always able to meet me where I was at, not judging, not disregarding what I say, but simply loving on me. And a thank you to all the people that helped us get to San Francisco and encouraged me throughout the year with my poetry. You were all a crucial part in making this whole experience happen. God Bless <3
