What does it mean to give something you never wanted to give? To say yes because no felt heavier? Put A Finger Down is a raw and haunting spoken word poem exploring themes of coercion, trauma, dissociation, and survival. Through visceral imagery and quiet devastation, this piece captures the weight of being made to endure—of being present in a body that is no longer yours.

If you’ve ever felt like an empty space, a door left open just to prove you could, this poem is for you.
