Its gets me every time when she says "I would drown myself in the Pacific Ocean for you to kiss my corpse cheek because I often forget you have lips" I cant stop the tears!
Everytime--EVERYTIME I watch this little girl...plead with her own mother to love her...it breaks me into tiny little pieces... When she came on stage crying even before speaking one word, I knew THIS poem was HER story... Simply a talented beautiful young lady...
I love this girl... so passionate, so emotional, so intelligent, so touching.... This is actually perfect, the only spoken poetry that makes me bawl. I love this girl, I really want to give her a hug, and my god, she's so brave.
"Im not crazy ma, humans just have crazy tendencies when we want someone to love us". That was brilliant. This entire piece was just beautiful, I couldn't help but tear up at the emotion being pushed out from this girls voice. Truly an amazing poet.
A deep pain and longing for love.A voice cries out in the hope to be heard.The echo of love from above her only comfort and the wish for love on earth.Cry out Cry out listen listen and heal.
5 years later and this poem has never lost its power!

Doesn't matter how many times I see this, it always makes me cry.

No Shit man, she deserves that standing ovation at the end
I'm dark skinned, my mom redboned. I'm scared to even imagine what this felt like. She's strong because she was able to express herself.
Please don't ever delete this video!!! Please please please! This is incredible.
