peternevlandThis music feature is a little different than most, but a treat nonetheless. I’d like to share a cool piece called “no one told me” by slam poet Peter Nevland.

Peter doesn’t come from a background of hardship like many with strong messages do. Rather he comes from the average middle-class America where he didn’t have a lot of real struggles. And it is this experience that he tends to draw from in his poetry. His style is real and raw. It is very cool stuff, yet still very thought provoking.

In this poem he realizes some things about himself, and through it challenges us to ask ourselves some serious questions. I know that this poem has made me think about what I was created to do. Now I just ask you, “what is it that no one ever told you?” Enjoy…

    This IS a great question to ask ourselves…makes me really think. Maybe there is something that I am passionate about or talent buried beneath the surface just waiting for discovery. I think this also boils down to believeing and following your passions regardless if others have pointed it out to you.
