A Trauma Dumb Candy Salad-Themed Open Mic
Join us at Amethyst & Ink Books for a night of sweetness with a sting.
🗓 Friday, March 13th
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 1814 W Gore Blvd, Lawton
This month’s theme: Sugar & Shadow
Think candy-coated confessions, bittersweet memories, saccharine stories with sharp edges.
We’re exploring the contrast between light and dark — the humor we use to survive, the softness that hides behind scars, and the strange comfort of turning hard things into art.
🍭 Bring a poem.
🍬 Bring a small bag of your favorite Candy.
🖤 Bring your beautifully complicated self.
Whether you’re reading original work, sharing something vulnerable, or just soaking in the atmosphere, this is a space for expression, connection, and creative release.
All experience levels welcome.
Open mic format.
Snacks may or may not include actual candy. 😉
Let’s turn shadow into sweetness together.
(🖤 A Gentle Reminder
While this month’s theme explores contrast, humor, and the way we turn hard things into art, we also want to be clear: no one is expected to share personal trauma. Participation looks different for everyone.
You are welcome to write light. You are welcome to write dark. You are welcome to simply listen.
This is a space meant to feel safe, creative, and supportive — wherever you are in your healing journey. There is no pressure, no expectation, and no competition. Just community.)
