I didn't mean to - an LGBTQ spoken word poem
Hoo boy this one is a doozy. A lot of anxiety went into the write, the filming, the editing, and finally the posting. But I wanted to share my story, and frankly I'm proud of how it's turned out. I love you all, and I hope this poem can help bring understanding and healing. I hope you have a wonderful gay. ;)

Under Smiling Stars - A Spoken Word Poem (ft. Chris Zabriskie)
zhlédnutí 297Před 3 lety
I don't have any words beyond those in the poem. But I hope they can tell you that I love you, that you'll be alright. I hope they do that well enough. Title this poem with your name. It's for you. You aren't alone.
What I ask of Men - A Spoken Word Poem
zhlédnutí 701Před 4 lety
I have had the privilege to know good men. This poem addresses some of the issues I've faced with (predominantly cis/het) men in my life, and it expresses what I ask of any man that wants to be a part of my life.

I wrote this in an effort to lovingly explain racism and police brutality to people that I loved who couldn't quite see the full picture. I hope it can bring even a small amount of increased understanding and unity.

    I write poetry about women but I’ve never been with one I want to be with a woman for the rest of my life I’ve tried men but they are not into me and I’ve always admired the way a woman’s body looks boobs and all

    I'll be honest, I'm a bit late to the party, but I'd just like to express how beautiful a heart tugging this poem is. It's a true piece of art and it's sad how few likes there are

    So well written and presented, thank you...I know you speak for a lot of young people...and as an old Lesbian who didn't know how to express these thoughts when I had them as a young person, I so appreciate you.

    This took me to flashbacks of my friend that I was madly in love with, how new it was for me and how impossible it seemed. All the times I tried to deny it, saying that it's only friendship and forever nothing more... It broke me. I felt more. She knew it too. How couldn't she? Saying I'm so great and caring, humble and kind. In her words I sounded like diamond and I couldn't help but to be overwhelmed with joy. Every time she told me she doesn't feel loved I waned to take her hand, look her in the eye and tell her how much I loved her. I loved her in a way she couldn't and it tored me apart. But... It was okay? She saw me as a friend and it was okay. I was hurt, but it was like a bruise from a long run - sign that I'm doing something with worth. Her being loved is all I waned and I gave it to her. I was in pain, but satisfied. (Sorry, I never told anyone and this poem just made me feel like that again.)

    This is so beautiful, the acting, the wording, the facial expressions... I'm just... "How hard I fighted"... I wasn't expecting this to make me feel so... Lonely, nostalgic and sad looking back to those confused thoughts and... Oh I'm so in love with your poetry ❤️

    No-one tries to fall in love. Whether it's with a boy, girl, mix of both, neither or any combination of those things, or not at all, no love is on purpose and no love is wrong ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

  • @PreciselyTheWrongMoment

    This is beautiful, hits hard. Your rhythm is so natural and it flows so well it’s like you’ve tuned into a frequency, very poised and clear. The sound of the words and the ebb and the flow and the sheer soul you put into your writing amazes and inspires me

  • @RLukeHaueter

    Genuinely amazing. Thank you for putting these feelings into words, for vocalizing what it feels like to fall in love with someone that you were told you shouldn't.

    @rohabaig7797 Před 4 lety

    Somehow women are taught to compromise for the pleasure of men and bend over their spine for them and that you aren't worth it I myself have been taught that because my mom was taught the same and this poem really does show that I need to stop making myself feel the way I do to stop bring myself down when I don't please others because that's all I have been taught that I am not worth so thank you thank you very much!!
