Nora Cooper - "I won't go to your Funeral" @WANPOETRY (TGS 2016)

[@JusticeAnimeGeek]

She took out a lot of lines... which makes me believe the person who she wrote this for either didn't get better or got way worse. There is so much more pain in this verson, as if the things she removed could not be done anymore. As someone who struggles with mental illness, I hung on her every word, telling myself that my friends would say this to me. This one, with all that in mind, was heart breaking. I love her works..

[@jusmarvin3519]

she used this as her two minute poem for the two round in the slam, so she shortened it. Im glad you love your friends enough to love yourself this way. I love you too, just incase you needed to hear that!

[@mandi575]

I thought this poem was titled "I won't write your obituary," but either way it's gorgeous.

I feel this so heavily. The anger. God. This is perfect. I am so sorry for the hurt. It is so hard.

[@dryramennoodles3527]

its so different than the original. the title is different. is whoever she wrote this for? gone?

[@imid3440]

Dry RamenNoodles that’s why i’m thinking :(

[@emi-hq3gb]

she took out my favourite line, nooooo

[@kaylutz5824]

What line?

[@emi-hq3gb]

"i will write you a body whose veins are electricity because outlets are easier to find than good shrinks, but we will find you a good shrink," i also like the line right after that, which is "i will write you 1-800-273-8255, that's the suicide hotline, we can call it together,"

[@gabym9913]

yeah both those lines were so impactful! i feel like something maybe happened though? bc she seemed more distressed in this one... so maybe she shortened it for that reason

[@rikuiijima6677]

“i won’t say goodbye or that i love you, one last time, you won’t leave on good terms with me [etc]” was my favorite line

[@jerkiyathomas2679]
