      “Sleep”
      i like sleep.
      sleep is neat.
      i like the colorful dreams
      dreams of what could never be
      i like the emptiness, the softness
      and who i am, the me
      of an untrue reality
      i like the role play, the pretending
      that all the bad things are gonna end
      and all the broken promises are mending
      of all the apologies they’re sending
      i like the chaos, the break away
      from our modern day
      of 9-5, the never ending grind
      the exhausting repetition of this life
      i like the nothingness, the void
      i love how i can hurt, but there’s no pain
      i love how there’s nothing to be gained
      from a lie
      i love how you try and try and try and never get anywhere
      i love how nothing matters
      how no one cares in the void
      no stares in the void
      no one even glances your way
      i like how your shoulder relax
      and your back cracks
      and you sigh, a deep long sigh
      a clear mind
      nothing to grasp for, no reason to try
      i like sleep
      i love the vast, peaceful, the empty, chaotic make believe.
      but mostly,
      i like how you never have to compete
      there’s no one in this world
      the world of dream
      this world of sleep
      there’s no one but me
      just me
      just me and my make believes

      @DaveLH Před 4 lety +38

      Yes -- Shel Silverstein wrote MUCH better poetry than this, as do Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear and others. There are some excellent poets whose work is directed to children. In contrast, I can't helping thinking that the Hanna poem about sleep is of similar awfulness (as far as structure, rhyme, meter, etc., _not_ content) to some of the "verses" in Ken Ham's kids' books. (Which Rachel has done videos about too, of course.)

But Gabbie’s “poetry” is just SO basic and simple with childish rhymes and vocabulary that its just plain, basic, bad, and childish. I mean Shel Silverstein’s poems are really good, but its just not for Gabbie. If she has to explain these basic af “poems” then she’s just a lost cause I’m sorry she should stick to one thing at a time like her music poetry is just not for her.

    I think this is a big reason why she chose to do a poetry book. Poetry's main point is to carry a message through your words and she chose to write poetry to seem deep. Her poems in reality aren't crafted to have a deep underlying meaning that you wouldn't realize until you've reread it tons of times, it's very straight to the point like you had said.

She spent money on this book, and is super into poetry and gave her opinion... she even said at the beginning that something she may dislike others may love and vise versa.

      Genuinely if you flip the first two lines you even get a proper rhythm.
      “Dogs Bark
      Trees have bark
      I am one with nature”
      Also as the person above pointed out it is reminiscent of a playground rhyme, which combined with its simplicity, if it is taken as a criticism of a subculture if society would imply that that subculture isn’t very smart and relies on 8th grade intellectualism.
      So layer one: a funny short poem of someone say in the park
      Layer two: a comment on egocentric subculture being simple, vapid and self important
      Layer three: One could argue that you are saying that to enjoy nature one must too regress to a simplistic childlike state, although I am not sure I could write a super convincing argument on that...

      and all the broken promises are mending
      of all the apologies they’re sending

      of 9-5, the never ending grind
      the exhausting repetition of this life

      how no one cares in the void
      no stares in the void
      no one even glances your way

    Her poem “sticks” was actually quite nice until the last four lines. Completely ruined it and made it angsty self hatred, which is a common thing she likes to shove in literally anything she writes. There’s lots of problems with her writing, but specifically the angsty, edgy extreme grasp at attention that’s plaguing her work is seriously dragging her down. Mental illness is not a trend, and the attempt she’s making at making a statement to relate to youth is.. sad. It’s an obvious lack of connection to society due to her other problematic behaviors, and maybe someday when she works at her issues she may find writing to be more kind to her.

      @sufferingsoup3296 Před 4 lety +98

      I completely agree. Literally every single Gabbie piece in this video was just absolutely drenched in edge and self-hatred and angst. It’s so overwhelming and wayy over done, and although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having an angsty poem, hers just are not even a little bit subtle or elegant. Her writing sounds like an edgy teen dumping their feelings on tumblr, not an adult trying to tell a dark story through art. And there’s just nothing considerate about any of them, especially that last one about cutting hair. She’s so aggressive about the depression theme and it just makes it all sound like a joke. It’s very frustrating to read, I think especially as someone who has been surrounded by these very serious issues their whole life.

      Gabbie doesn’t care. She doesn’t want good faith critique. She wants only praise. So it doesn’t matter what this video is really like; she’s going to claim it was bullying or abuse to make herself seem victimized so her fans rush to manage her emotions and ego (and buy her books).

      Or maybe they try to seek comfort so much that they turn to those methods even if they seem foolish for us? I mean, people who have mental breakdowns are not easy to understand. We could speculate here all day long why they act like that and still fail to see what’s the underlying reason.
      I, for one, experienced being called an attention seeker because I had cuts on my wrists back then (I stopped doing them though). They laughed at me when they get a glimpse of it. Not trying to guilt trip any of you, point of why I said this is because there might really be a good reason why people do stuff and assuming something that drags them down is just sad...

    Hi Rachel, I see that you're liking comments so I hope you read this. I just wanted to say that you inspired me to read more poetry and really give it a shot. I had forgotten how much I loved it and got out of it. What's happened with Gabbie is unfortunate, and I know you know better than to equate value with "relevance" but what she said was in such poor taste and also untrue. I thought I'd let you know you're extremely relevant. Maybe to a smaller community, but it's a community you've built and retained over the years. I'm always amazed at how regularly you post and how much effort and thought goes into each video. I don't agree with all of your opinions, not always, but that doesn't take away from the value you've created in the world. Keep doing you

    I'm so very late, but I feel like poetry is using the subtle quirks of human language to communicate human experience. It can be plain language, of course, but there's a difference between "I love you" and "stars are born inside my chest every time i speak your name". This just doesn't read (to me) that it's trying to communicate anything deeper, it feels like tweets that happen to rhyme. And that's what really disappointed me.

You were weren't rude, weren't even blunt, you were very constructive and educated. Clearly Gabbie has only seen the title of this video, which is so brash because, well, clickbait. Its kind of necessary to reel people in. But you get way more than you're actually expecting.

    Wow, I didn’t realize how bad her poetry was until now lol as someone who also struggles with self harm, the “cut” poem does feel very insensitive and demeaning in a way, but something that I find interesting is that Gabbie has talked about it being very hard for her to cut her hair, since she’s used it almost as a security blanket her whole life or as a thing to hide behind. So perhaps she’s trying to draw a parallel between the pain of cutting her hair and the trauma of self harm? Which i think is uhhh,,, sorta yikess

She makes it seem like she's talking about the struggle of self-harm...then switches it to her hair?

I had this sort of dull interest in poetry, but after you made me kinda see the beauty in the craft, what goes into it, and what makes poetry poetry, I had developed this deep love for it. Poetry has become a big part of my life and identity and I can't imagine it any other way. This unfound criticism towards you hurts, because I absolutely adore your channel.

    I like sleep. Sleep is neat.
    Sleep means everything to me.
    I like sleep. Sleep is sweet.
    Sweeter than what life could bring
    When I sleep, I can dream
    Of what I'm truly meant to be
    Instead I'm here, where I can't think
    Instead my mind is on the brink
    That's why I love my 12 hour blink

      dUde i was literally thinking this and just reflecting back to the poetry class i took this past semester and how fucking boring and useless it was and how i just learned way more about poetry from the first ten minutes of this video than like an entire semester of classes ,, need more teachers like this.

      For your own sanity, don't become a teacher. You deserve more in life. Voice of experience, here.

    Gabbie writing "don't make problems where there aren't any" is PEAK hypocrisy considering her mountain=molehill personality.

    Hey, I just wanted to say that I am so impressed by how you handled Gabbie recently. It would have been so easy to react in anger to all the horrible things she said but instead you tried to handle things privately over DM and encourage her to take a break to calm down. I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by how maturely you handled everything and that I really respect these videos as well - because they are just valid constructive criticism of her work and actually made me get into poetry. I hope you are doing okay after all the things Gabbie and her fans have been saying and wish you all the best!
