I've been in love with this piece for over 10 years...one of the best!

[@geminikb]

I don’t think any poem has moved me more than this.

This gives me life now just like it did 16 years ago. Amazing performance!!!!

Such an incomprehensibly amazing flow of spoken word that resonates with every cell of my being. Immaculate...simply immaculate, pure, wholehearted, and REAL!

@jungillest agreed

Saw this movie while my HS boyfriend was on drug court and probation. It perfectly illustrated the anxiety we shared during that time. If you see this comment Alex, stop running. Stop running. You'll never be free if you keep running.

Outta this world!

She has just been arrested for cocaine possession and these lyrics hit me a harder now because I realize she is crying out from her inner struggles with drug abuse and addiction and this slam poem comes from deep within her well of understanding.

Epic.

The was WAY before she was on 'The Wire'

[@KelOne333]

Seeing her in this is WHY I watched the wire. Three times. (About to watch through again)

Love this, love Sonja Sohn. Loved Slam (a longtime favorite). BUT! That mack truck ain't exactly moving that fast. Two inches away but won't her her for two minutes? Run and free don't need to co exist. She can stop drop and roll away from those 10000 ass-bricks and have a snack before the truck hits. 🤷‍♂️
