you can tell by the bags underneath his eyes that he barely sleeps. because his mind is alway racing always thinking his beautiful thoughts & i respect that to the fullest. Him and everyother spoken word artist is beautiful. He IS beautiful. Makes you wonder and just wanna get to know what else is inside his mind.

He is another intellectual level. After saying so much..he still had more to say. If given the opportunity i think he could go on for another 20 min. He is a deeper thinker with a lot to say

I had to sign in just to say something about this peice.. I love how smooth and easy his spoken word is--it totally draws you in without the distraction of the yelling and sped up language you often get from spoken word (not throwing any shade, I love it all). This peice.. *sigh* kissed my soul.. I heard, understood, and internalized every image he caputured in this peice.. True inspiration for my own work. I absolutely LOVE this.

to this is like reading the great gatsby for the the 10th time because you know the stories and symbols so well, but you keep reading/listening because the simple majesty of the words and their intertwining syllables hum so softly in the anvils and hammers of your ears that you can't help but get the chills and be inspired to write. Thats what real poetry does such as this, not justin beiber

"Tell them to load their shotguns with slugs made of me and I'll prove to you that bullets do know what color your skin is when I pierce your chest and tip toe vicariously around your lungs and light your heart on fire so it bursts into three parts: you, me and a rainbow." I'm going to have to start coming up with more adjectives to describe just how amazing poetry can be

it truly pisses me off that this is being advertised by justin beiber things simply because they look similar. No, no similarities should be made between Miles Hodges and him because its like comparing a graudate student with a little kid and his box of crayons. Listening
