Sarah Kay performs "Useless Bay"

[@reshauribe]

Not sure if it's because I've heard too many of her poems .... But it really broke my heart to hear she's heart broken. Such wonderful woman she seems to be. Hope she heals well and soon.

[@rahrah304]

Her mind is beautiful... I wish I had a way with words like she does.

[@afraibnatparsha9827]

Finding someone's mind beautiful is such a nice compliment... 💚

[@inga_nobanda]

Right🙈

[@jeffthibodeaux6137]

What's better is if you have a way with words like you do. Your voice is important, it doesn't deserve to be compared.

'Let the sunset not be my time running out but only the hour of the day'

[@cosmicmells]

+Jensa M Favorite line!!

[@Metanoia10]

Jensaaa uniqlo now selling a shirt with that line on it. She partnered with them for poetry on clothing. My fav line

[@kaitlynkeegan5936]

Jensaaa I have that on a t shirt , it was a birthday gift from my friend who's name is also sara

[@sergeantnick99]

i scrolled down and saw this just as she started to say it. it was almost scary

[@zaria_xo]

I would listen to her read a shopping list. Her voice is so relaxing

[@embersofficial9567]

"Let the young men be just young men and not my heart forever swinging, let the water be just water and not the vast loneliness..."

[@aditibisht22]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@dob1997]

sarah just captures everything im feeling. i find a video with her poem and every time its exactly the poem i need to hear. its exactly how im feeling. i wish there was a way to say thank you for the words this stranger has given me which meant as much to her ❤ but anyway thank you. thank you thank you thank you. id never find these words on my own

[@jovitasor5403]

I listen to this at least twice a year. It’s my favorite poem of hers.

[@risummary8424]

when she said "let the sunset not be my time running our but only the hour of the day" I FELT THAT

[@martinwettig4108]

Dear Sarah, you're still the thoughtful beautiful guardian angel of every feeling soul. Thank you for your honesty.

[@danalulu13]

a new vid from sarah! my heart just leapt. and yes I also find metaphors in everything. a dimple of a workmate, or a faucet not turned off properly or the flower in the middle of the road. I always find patterns of people's behaviors or conversations or reasons. And yes it is hard, to try to understand something, or someone, and only fail to do so. Sometimes a message in the middle of the night is just a message. Sometimes a song sang together was just a song. Sometimes shared hobbies are just shared hobbies.

[@saritalarasati1594]

^^^so accurate^^^

[@dellahw]

I liked the turning point in this poem. That line 'he has moved into someone else's body', so deft. The entire ending 👌🏾

[@darlene8130]

dellahw did he die?

[@harshitajajani6656]

Darlene nope, he found pleasure and joy with another girl

[@darlene8130]

Harshita Jajani that's so sad...

[@BELLACOXPOET]

I come back to this poem so so often. Sarah, if you ever read this, know that your words touch me so deeply and i am so thankful that you write. Your mind seems to work a lot like mine and that is comforting xx

[@devikakapoor9281]

Let this poem, be just a poem... Sarah Kay is perfection.

[@deborahmarina2514]

I've always loved poetry since I was a little girl. Only 6 years old and writing poems about love, poems about nature, and about family. Now 16, my passion for it had drifted since then, until I found Sarah Key. The way your mind finds the perfect words and the way your voice carries them out is magical. Really makes me want to write again about the deeper meanings that already roam my mind all day. Thank you for being the great poet that you are and for being my new idol. Really hope you read this all though the chances are low. Thank you. (Btw I'm from Puerto Rico! Haha)

[@deborahmarina2514]

@Mariana Fraher I didn't expect this at all but it made my day for sure. THANKS 💕

[@9thgalaxy778]

This poem really resonates with me, because she describes so beautifully the "poet's curse".

[@xsarkasmosx]

I can't stop coming back to this and listening again. She has such a nice cadence.

[@CarissaWyles]

She speaks to my heart and seems to read my mind. Thank you for being so inspiring Sarah Kay.

[@tamayagarner1542]

You are so great! I love that you look at images and moments of life in your very special way Sarah!.

[@pamelamilley3079]

Sarah, your words, tumbra , illumination inspire me. I was brought up with Ogden Nash, A.A. Milne, The Dr. Sues, Shakespeare, and late at night I write, not for anybody else but for me, and I hear your voice and it is inspiring. .

[@katherinevelasquez6326]

She always leaves me speechless. I love her poetry so much.

[@abiodunjimoh7432]

Sarah Kay's poems are always different from anything I have heard before, they're truer; they're fuller; they are more honest. They are parts of the poems that completely refers to me but I couldn't put in words ordinarily... Sarah, you are really phenomenal.

[@DeFawk]

Yet another piece which I can painfully relate to. Kudos to you, Sarah Kay. You're my heroine ♡

[@madelynlewis8902]

one of my forever favorite poems. so, so lovely.

[@bizziegrace]

gOD. THIS POEM YALL. it's one of those poems that make you feel sorrow for lives you've never lived. possibilities you could have had. it makes you think of all those people who promised you forever and you believed them, only to find yourself alone at the end of it all. and i love every bit of it.

[@abdulmujeebquick4452]

Listening to Sarah Kay grabs you in and makes you feel like just for once, nothing else matters, and the world is all beautiful. 💓💓💓💓

[@faatimahfarhad1523]

I've listened to it so so many times and it still breaks my heart. You're such a gift Sarah kaye ❤❤❤

[@gabbyc1717]

This spoke to me. I love her poetry so much.

[@fudge54]

Wow. This is beautiful. I can relate so much to this. There are too many times where I wish I could just live without giving life too much meaning, when it would be easier just to let it be.

[@ninjagato5785]

YES! Oh Sarah Kay, you're work is so beautiful and your words are magic!

[@scarletheart2766]

“Let the sunset not be my time running out but only the hour of the day” -this got me.

[@joshaunacollier1945]

Thinking you finally found love and realizing he talk to everyone as if they are his life long love is deathly hearth breaking. When he moved on so quickly made me give up on love mentally. People come and go and sometimes leave a imprint so deep... u call it me but its really it...🤫😏

[@kyramckenzie7556]

Love it🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@2320RG]

[@lyndaharris5233]

There is always a reason that they are called your ex they were meant to be there so that God can bring to you someone beautifully made to love just you. I'm sorry that he hurt you. You have a beautiful way of communicating ones life sounds better than I could have said it. Thank you

Hello, I want to show my friends this poem, but they don't really understand that much of English. So, I want to do the transcription of the subs to spanish, may I?

This is like a caress to my brain

[@Cristicute]

how to not love her?

[@RyanHodge444]

My idol.

[@pemlepem]

❤

[@louisonpatureau4028]

Hey... Today, it would have been useful if someone had told me this wasn't a metaphor... I was with a group of people. We all had a marker, each a different color. Mine was dark blue, the girl next to me had a red one, and the boy I liked had a yellow one. I said: "Hey, the three of us make the primary colors". But then, I looked at the girl next to him: his girl best friend. She had a light blue marker.

[@rileylindhardt754]

This... this one struck me.

[@ashisreallytired9006]

I also do the thing where I give everything an hidden meaning and it's kind of frustrating sometimes

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Wow, way to tug the heartstrings, hugs to you
