my first ever live poetry reading!!!

[@ladyk777]

your poetry was meant to be heard. you are a vision standing up there with the microphone, looking like a star, sharing your art with that voice that makes so many of us feel like we are witnessing the divine feminine in all of her glory 🤍 please keep sharing your gifts with the universe. that was so beautiful to witness.

karissa is a lifestyle

[@georgiak3606]

“ i have this idea that I can save all my memories for the future, and for now all I must do is prepare or disassociate” really hit.

[@laurenjensen7976]

I grew up in the Mormon church and served an 18-month mission for it about 6 years ago. It severely traumatized me, and I am recovering after 5+ years still. I have since left the church and am aligned with my true self more. I feel your pain as a fellow survivor. I LOVE your third poem and appreciate you beautifully articulating something so real and painful. You are magnetic and influential. I am so glad I found your channel! Thank you for being you ❤

[@Inauraofficial]

You really really inspire me, to write, to live, to be, to breathe, to see whatever I can see. And to reflect. You show me that courage is within all of us and that I can have it too. I've been really really sad recently. It seems all I can do cry. My past is painful and I almost refuse to say what I need to say and it's weighing on me. Thank you for existing and being that light at the end of my tunnel. The faith that you exude, about life and your dreams, is the only thing that reminds me that I can follow mine sometimes.

[@treetop6877]

I've been feeling the exact same way

[@4brayd3n]

this marks the start of my time line into start my own walkway into this art

[@Ridelanasdarkparadise]

the fact that I have a timer for 12 on every Sunday

[@faithhermosillo6736]

You are a safe place for teenage girls, especially ones like myself who felt like they didn’t fit in, just floated over everyone else, or observed. I’ve written poetry since forever this’d inspired me very much! Like Priscilla Presley, Stevie nicks, lana, Marilyn, Sylvia Plath, i can tell you are just one of those women with a presence that deserves to be universally remembered. Like a ghost of girlhood. Love your c hannel!!

[@Mysticbarbie_]

Omg watching this was so beautiful and it touched a spot in my heart I luv it

[@carissapina6961]

the last one i felt so much, your words are so meaningful and you are so brave for speaking aloud in front of others, i dont think i’d have the courage to do so 😭

[@polina_darko]

go little rock star!

[@GroovingFlowerChild]

You are such an inspiration to so many of us. Your courage and bravery to be vulnerable is unmatched. You are such a light to us. As 2024 reigns upon us, I can safely express how grateful I am to have discovered your channel. You've made an impact in my life and I'm sure many others as well. Even though I don't get the pleasure of knowing you personally you've impacted me in such a profound way. Thank you for being you and thank you for sharing with us. I would be interested in seeing a video diving into some of your personal background with family/life experiences.

I'm a poet myself and this has inspired me to write longer poems.. Thank you Karissa your words are truly beautiful

[@sunkissedchaos]

I LOVE your style, Karissa! Do you resell any of your pieces anywhere. by chance? I'm absolutely obsessed w/ thrifting. Happy holidays, queen! xx

[@JessCreationsss]

I was watching with my hands on my heart and tears in my eyes like a proud mother lol no but Karissa you slayed that! I was so captivated by all 3 of your poems. 'I hope I get into heaven' was the perfect poem to end with. You are a natural and soo good with words. You know a poem is good when it sparks emotion and I definitely felt the words you were saying and could picture the settings of each poem in my mind. I hope you continue, I can definitely see you selling your poems and even doing more live poetry readings like this. I would definitely support! Poetry is your gift, so happy you got an opportunity to share it live. This is just the beginning 💜

[@ohsnapitzambrose]

I absolutely loved your poems!! You did a great job ❤️ I definitely relate to the first and last poem. It’s crazy because I live in Florida like you did and I also don’t feel like I belong here. My dream is to live in a place that snows, and I feel very drawn to Canada. Hopefully I’ll be able to visit one day!

[@callielee]
