I believe the sky cries because of what it sees in us.
I believe complexities come to an end.
I believe change is necessary to exist.
I believe struggles don't last forever.
It's never too late to reveal yourself to the world.
I believe I can.

The louderARTS Project is a not-for-profit arts corporation committed
to developing constructive and challenging spaces for artists to
create, critique, present, and teach poetry. The louderARTS Project is
dedicated to uniting the various worlds of poetry (writing and
performing, traditionalist structure and slam form, study and action,
personal and political, solitary and collaborative, genre-specific and
genre-bending), in a way that is both altruistic and personally and
artistically evolutionary.
