    Hey, I want to thank everyone who's watched this and felt something positive toward it. This wasn't a piece I set out to send too far into the world, but hearing folks talk about it and say it's given them something to grab onto in those real confusing -- even real, big, panicky -- moments means the world. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you dug it. Stay big; you've got this.

      Also, thanks to anyone who watched and didn't feel positive about it, because y'all still gave it a shot (or got tricked into coming here) and I super appreciate that, too.

      My name is Hannah and I am 18 and it felt like you where talking right to me, I have heard people say my name but it never quite sounded like they where talking to me. Like the real me. I guess that is because they don't know me because no one puts in the effort to ask those questions and know the real me behind the curtain of fake smiles and the answer ''I doing fine". I want you to know that sometimes it might seam like it is just words coming out of your mouth and no body is actually listening but there are people out there that love your work not because they like you but because there thoughts are being say aloud for others to hear but they don't have to open there mouth, anyways hope you have a truly amazing day -Hannah Grace-

    "My head is so loud, but my house is not"
    One of the most relatable poems I've heard, this is beautiful.

    "sometimes I cannot keep from throwing my suitcase across the floor because my head is so loud and my home is not." ~Lewis Mundt
    This is the quote that relates to me the most. Thank you

    This poem was truly a work of art. I felt it spoke directly to me in more ways than one. For my name is Hannah as well and as soon as you spoke my name I couldn't believe it. Your poetry is so beautiful in it's blunt content, it's just incredible.

      The first time I did this poem there was a Hannah in the audience and I remember looking at them and saying, "I'M SORRY IF THIS GETS WEIRD FOR YOU IN, LIKE, TWO MINUTES." So just pretend I did that to you.

      Lewis Mundt I also had this moment; was really feeling the moment and then heard my name and was like "THIS. THIS IS FOR ME. IT'S A SIGN."

    I really relate to this. Anxiety is the worst. And I'm also a poet, and people don't stop asking me these questions. Of course, I'm not published so I don't make any money, but people are trying to squeeze poetry from me like ketchup from a bottle.
