"he say he's tired of not being the hero in my poems, I say Me too." god I'm feeling this and it made me cry. I can relate and I wish I couldn't.

[@lajennvee]

Agh.... "he say he's tired of not being the hero in my poems; I say 'me too'" ... that line got me through the heart. same feeling...

[@lajennvee]

"You show up to be seen". I had to pause the poem and take a moment. So powerful.

[@lilmama8718]

"guess I was only hungry once, and watched the same movie for the rest of my life!" idek why but thats when I started crying. something bout the way she says it

[@enelyturbialvarez3178]

"guess i ain't need no talk into how to get hurt by all these boys, you're the best lesson." can relate to this so hard! this poem hit me so close to home! all the rawness and emotion out of her just made it so much more amazing!

[@cassie32368]

"You showed up to be seen...." That line there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!

[@definezt17]

"He say he tired of not being the hero in my poems I say me too"

[@brittneyharmon6647]

“You’ll never be successful””Yeah you made sure of that, and if I am it’ll have nothing to do with you” Really hits. Hurts even more when you hear this poem and its more about your mother

[@Rai-ona]

Exactly

[@shaghayeghmnf6467]

"guess your hurt was enough for both of us"...yeah

[@avu2888]

I can't even pick my favorite line because they're all so good. I absolutely adore this line specifically: "Guess I was only hungry once and watched the same movie for the rest of my life. You owed me _one_ flavor of ice cream, but I heard Baskin Robins got 32."

[@veronicamcclain702]

[@ilissamendez5817]

As I cry my self to sleep listening to poem after poem I realized that there is not one poem that can express how I'm feeling. I feel lost at times so I youtubed lost poetry slam poems. I feel angry at times so I did the same and I also feel alone. But not one said what I wanted to say. As I cry my self to sleep my sister and my mother snore soundly. As I cry my self to sleep I picture my last breath. As I cry my self to sleep I realized that there is a poem. MINE.

[@Im1BadBri]

[@alyssademarzo7939]

I don't remember having a sister...

[@itzqueenjosie1516]

Did she write this

[@mylannajohnson4158]

Jus that 1 dislike , good

[@TURBOBEATZZZ]

Yup I'm very hurt. I gave my girls all the heart I had and it's like it meant absolutely nothing. I overreacted to your poem a bit but atleast your pops tried. Maybe he just never saw manhood modeled well as a child. Bottom line is be careful how you dishonor your folks whether it be mom or dad. Someday you'll be their age and by then you'll have a better understanding about just how difficult life is. I use to think my dad didn't see me enough after the divorce. Then after mine I understood why and realized that what he was up against was tough. I ended up giving him a perfect match kidney 14 years ago and he's still ticking. He's my best friend. Trust me please. FORGIVENESS AND OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE SIS!!!! YAH BLESS!

[@Chrisbrownloverforev]

The thing is, that can be your story, but please don't pretend that you know her story... or anyone else's, for that matter.

[@KAMIKAZEE3421]

I don't like the intro. just get to the poetry immediately.

[@quirealicia]

“you show up to be seen” 🥲

[@londons_legacy]

Don't like being reminded of his FAULTS but look in the mirror everyday and his FACE so what does that make me??

[@londons_legacy]

He say you ain't gon' be successful I say you ain't sure of that.

[@coffinbabe7953]

The only thing I dislike about this channel is how much louder the intro is verses the actual poet
