" I've never been in a military, but I have this purple heart. I got it from beating myself over things I can't fix." faq shit faq shit this resonates well with me.

[@endlesswonder22]

You're brilliant, dude. God is shining out through your eyes, your honesty, and your voice. Don't ever quit.

[@Moon3soul]

I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments. Now that struck me.

[@jobazam]

It is incredible how you capture something that you can't put into words. A feeling that everyone knows and has experienced but can't explain. Yet you do it so justly; it's absolutely mesmerising.

[@TheSammie58]

this is my favorite poem by him i can relate to a lot of this

[@Erin2471]

This man is beautiful and he speaks the words that get caught in my throat and in the tangles of my synapses.

[@reporterpeytonlewis1256]

This is why he is my favorite person ever.

This is a written transcript of "My Honest Poem" by Rudy Francisco. This is a public service, and I am in no way claiming any association with this artist, this KZbin video, or this KZbin channel. Forgive how long it is, but this is the way that I write lyrics for my spoken word poetry music videos about mental health awareness and various other topics on my own KZbin channel. Enjoy! 💓 "-I was born on July 27th, -I hear that makes me a Leo. -I don't really know what that means. -I'm 5 foot 6... and a half, -I weigh a hundred and forty-five pounds, -I don't know how to swim, -and I'm a sucker for a girl with a nice smile. -And clean sneakers. -I'm still learning how to whisper. -I'm often loud in places where I should be quiet, -I'm often quiet in places where I should be loud. -I was born feet first and I've been backwards ever since. -I like ginger ale... a lot. -I've been told that I give really bad hugs. -People say that it feels like I'm trying to escape. -Sometimes it's because I am, -nd secretly I get really nervous every time someone gets close enough to hear me breathe. -I have this odd fascination with things like sand castles and ice sculptures. -I assume it's because I usually find myself dedicating time to things that will only last a few moments. -That's also why I tend to fall in love with women who would never love me back. -I know it sounds crazy, but it's actually much easier than it seems, -And to be honest, I think it's safer that way. -See, relationships, they often remind me that I'm not afraid of heights or falling, -But I'm scared of what's gonna happen the moment that my body hits the ground. -I'm clumsy. -Yesterday, I tripped over my self-esteem, -I landed on my pride and it shattered like an iPhone with a broken face. -Now I can't even tell who's trying to give me a compliment. -I've never been in the military, but I have this Purple Heart, -I got it from beating myself up over things I can't fix. -I know it sounds weird but sometimes, -I wonder what my bed sheets say about me when I'm not around. -I wonder what the curtains would do if they found out about all the things that I've done behind their backs. -I've got a hamper that's overflowing with really, really loud mistakes, -And a graveyard in my closet, -I'm afraid that if I let you see my skeletons -You'll grind my bones into powder and get high on my fault lines. -Hi, my name is Rudy. -I enjoy frozen yogurt, people watching, -And laughing for absolutely no reason at all. -But I don't allow myself to cry as often as I need to, -I have solar-powered confidence, -I have a battery-operated smile. -My hobbies include editing my life story, hiding behind metaphors, -And trying to convince my shadow that I'm someone worth following. -I don't know much, but I do know this: -I know that heaven is full of music. -I know God listens to my heart beat on his iPod. -It reminds him that we still got work to do." **This is not meant to infringe upon Rudy's work. I've met him a few times when we both competed at the same national competitions, and he's a very nice and generous person, so I'm sure he wouldn't see it that way.
