Amir Sulaiman saying a def poetry "She Said, I Prefer A Broken Neck to another broken heart"

[@jasminediaz1078]

I love how he didn't accept the first applause but completely honored the second one as it was for his mother

[@imjustafanboy]

i feel like it was to hammer home the feeling that you do not understand the point yet so don't clap

[@babstheoriginal]

I love how deep that is

[@MzAmberJ]

"Having love is even more important than having a lover." I love this.

[@lightknowledge2516]

A slew of chills smacked me right at the end. His delivery is incredible. I also like how he didn't try to use personal beliefs as a part of his argument.

[@MsMalcolmHughes]

I absolutely LOVE this piece

[@Anointed_Author]

"Our own sons grow up thinking love is a disease" Facts

[@HookQueenLadyRey]

Poetry like this can't be disliked, I find this type of poetry merits as much praise as anything written by the likes of Eliot and such.

[@moonbowmama]

Extremely powerful! Brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing and being a strong example for those around you!

[@UncleElEx]

True. Heavy.

barak allah AKHI AMIR SULAIMAN!!!! your poetry is that of the kings!

[@foeberri]

WOW This is the best poem ever!

[@stayinganon7650]

this brother is amazing!!!

[@KizerMoore]

Actually, it is mentioned in reference in the poem, just not in depth simply because the woman's mistakes weren't the topic of the poem. The poem was about her accepting her past and looking toward her future (with a bit of pessimism). He said it took her some time to herself to discover that "having love is even more important than having a lover" I'm sure the time she took to herself was her understanding her bad choices with lovers without love. So it was mentioned, just not dwelled on.

[@marcmody]

so beautiful.

[@SomaliFirstLady]

so beautiful. mashallah we need more men like him!!

I love that being a male doesn't make you a man. This simple truth has faded from common knowledge until it becomes an amazing revelation every time a MAN speaks about it. I love this piece.

[@TaylanTown77136]

This is LEGIT. I wish more guys didn't care about seeming "MACHO" and were more down to earth and in touch with their own emotions! It seems like they just pretend they dont even have emotions these days.

you'll always survive a broken heart but a broken neck, nothing can be guaranteed, the best way to survive a broken heart is to move on as quick as possibe

[@sarahunderwood8952]

I wouldn't say so, he just has a very adept grasp on his sense of self. He knows what mistakes he can't afford to make in his life and knows how to speak OUT LOUD about it.
