Recorded live at Dean's List 3. The Strivers Row showcase. Carvens Lissaint performing "Beauty Part 3" Inspired by @Mega_TheMC www.thestrivers... www.facebook/th... / www / thestriversrow
I listen to this everytime I'm feeling depressed. It reminds me that things will get better & that I'm not alone with my problems. Thank you Carvens, I needed this. You and Jasmine are actually the ones that inspired me to get serious with my writing. God Bless.
This brought me to tears! I can relate to a lot of what he said. I turn twenty tomorrow and the first thing Im going to tell myself in the mirror when I wake up is "You are Beautiful" Carvens you are beautiful, sexy, intelligent and all the above, thank you for sharing this poem I pray God can bless me with a man in my life that resembles you in some way :)
THAT was probably one of the most emotional poems I've ever heard. Incredible. He really wrote that from deep within. I'm amazed. I wish more men performed more raw deep poems like this. I have profound respect for any man that's not afraid of his emotions. BRAVO.
GOD is talking to so many of us through this poem Carvens Lissaint you're truly truly truly loved. s typical of the devil to attack us at such a young age knowing that God has so much in store for us. Love it. Thank you, your vulnerability on stage shows that you meant every word. the kind of man that God talks about in the Bible. wow :) and yes, you are beautiful.
Wow!! Just Wow Carvens...I'm still watching your poems and they still touch me like they did 8 years ago. You're a true gift to the world, and "you are beautiful!"; I say that to myself everyday. You really changed my life.
My science teacher suggested this group of poets to me when she found out I liked spoken word. Now I've found this poem, and I'm in tears. I can't believe her suggestion was so on the mark.
no matter how many times i see this it still gets me. I related to it so much. thank you for sharing this. this poem inspired me to write the most honest poem I've ever written in my life. its people like you that inspire, encourage and influence people like me... people that can take the ugliness of the past and turn it into something beautiful. again, thank you so much Carvens!
I've seen this so many times, and Each time, I get goosebumps and tears flow... Now that's what u call hardfelt poetry. I pray that his future wife will be a blessing to him and a source of healing. :)
Man if this doesnt strike some kind of emotion in you then you cant be human.. Just seeing him cry as he perform this defines his humility and how emotionally intact he is with his writing
Thank you for writing this poem. I cried while watching this poem because this is my story and I can relate. I hope to be a confident as you one day. AGAIN THANK YOU.

WOW!!! A man who is not afraid to bear his own insecurities. That was deep and inspirational!!! I loved being there just as much as I enjoyed hearing it again!
Wow! That man is Amazing! He has this way of truly taking you to another place where the world around you just stops and you live in the poem. Phenomenal!
Thank you. Your words cut deep into my spirit and brought out pain that I didn't even know was there. Had me over here boo hooing and self reflecting. Please continue to use your gift. God is using you.
"I'm awkward and I love it. I make a fool of myself but still have the confidence of a firefly buzzing in the gut of a cave. I cry. I cry and I fight, and I cry, and I fight, and I cry. I cry and I fail and I fall and I GET THE F*CK BACK UP!... Wake up every morning and say you know what Carvin, I love you. I love you so much and you are beautiful." -I needed those words.
I used to and still love this so much
This peace never gets old I miss the old strivers row collective. Those poems got me threw college and then some. This peace will forever be timeless
I almost dropped my phone. The vulnerability of a man is so powerful and strengthening and beautiful...this was amazing.
Takes me back to elementary school days and even high school. Brings tears to my eyes. Thankful to God that I've overcome those days.
I listen to this everytime I'm feeling depressed. It reminds me that things will get better & that I'm not alone with my problems. Thank you Carvens, I needed this. You and Jasmine are actually the ones that inspired me to get serious with my writing. God Bless.
