Self poetry
Slam poem
I am me, You are you
Do not be someone you can’t be
I can’t change just for you so why change for me
You are you and I am me.
Slam Poetry is a type of competition where people read their poems after performing, The judges can be anyone: they don't even need to be poets! Scores are awarded based on how much each judge likes a poem.
Example:
l am poetry is based on the free verse styles of the Beat poets like Alan Ginsberg, and on the poems of the Negritude movement which was led by black French-speaking poets. The Negritude movement focused on experiences of discrimination and oppression; slam poetry often focuses on political and social issues as well.

Challenges Brando Yelavich faced in his journey
Describing the challenges Brando Yelavich faced in his journey.
Brando lived in suburban Auckland, in a normal teenage life but he always felt
depressed and stressed out a lot, he remembered fighting with his parents
a lot. (like a normal teenager) and his school was a really bad fit for his ADHD
and dyslexia, it took him a long time to learn things and he is better in
practical situations than in a boring math class, after he left the school he just
ended up lying on the floor doing nothing and he was in a really bad and
negative cycle

How I resolved challenges that I faced in my life.
How I resolved the challenges that I faced in my life.
I have had quite a lot of challenges in my life but the big one I think I faced
was depression yes depression although I might still have it, I have overcome it.
and I learned to not let it take control because having depression doesn't
make you less worthy, the only way to make you unworthy is by doing bad stuff
like really bad stuff, you have to make yourself worthy for yourself to become
strong you might have gone through tough times but that’s just a step closer to
make you more worthy, because you need tough and hard times for yourself to
become stronger.

What goals have I set and achieved how did I do this?
What goals have I set and achieved how did I do this?
One of my big goals was to go out and socialize with friends,
but I could barely go out because there was never a right time or day,
but one day at lunch my friends and I discussed going out to hang out,
which I am really excited for. Because it’s going to be my first hanging out
with people who are really close to me. That’s how I achieved my goal.
