Ladies and gentlemen: My favourite spoken word artist, Rage Almighty. "Peace with you was worth the war and I've given you pieces of me that I've never given myself." "Irony: I'm just now realising that I'm going to be in love with you for the rest of my life. Tragedy: You're not going to be around to know it." Take a fucking bow lad. Once again killing it with rawness unmatched.
Dude, your words more than beatiful, they're real. It looks like you don't even say them, they flow through you. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent with the world. Thank you.
I don't know why this came up in my recommendations at this time, but Rage was a such a beautiful soul, it hurts to know I'll never get to see him perform again. Rest in power King! 🥰
"Tragedy: peace with you was worth the war" Rest in peace my friend. Devastation is an understatement. You will be missed. Our community lost our voice. The world lost its rage.
When Poetry makes you shake and cry like a child you know it comes from your heart. You're not alone in Your pain brother. We feel your pain as God feels your pain his Love is greater than any earthly Love and he will you get you through any pain you feel.
It's July 6, 2022 and I'm hearing this for the 2nd time and the 1 st time today. I saw the year it was posted and I needed to hear more. I looked up your social media and how amazing, that even after your physical being has long moved on, your legacy continues to move lives.
oh wow! I'm 42 years old and I just heard 3 quotes that have never heard before and have just become my favorites: "You should never let a fool kiss you and never let a kiss fool you" "The most successful liars are the most honest people you will ever meet" "We are only honest with each other when it comes to dishonesty" DAAAAAANNNG!! You just blew my mind. Thank you!
I want to leave a comment that will accurately convey how I stepped into that poem and felt it scrape at my scars but I will just a leave a comment, for now, that says: Ouch.
write to me. write WITH me. today was my birthday. I couldn't think of anything I would love more than to start writing again besides this book about.people ..it's more of a sociology astrology textbook. I just ended a relationship with my partner of 7 years. I have lyrics and poems tangled in my throat and I have to get a place for me to sort them out. I would love to share a writing group/experience etc with a person or two. I'm rusty. but I published once. I don't want to be in anything too formal and if you're not too trained in a method, you're probably open minded and that would be great too. I have seen a lot of women who think that they have found their voice at 23. my own was very much MY voice at 12. but it was a very different kind of voice that I wrote with at 20. I'm not sure I'm used to the MY voice of 43 yet. we're not static beings. we are so much water. we shift shape. comment on one of my videos...... or something. I'm trying to get an actual channel together in addition to this one. eventually, too.😏
Breakup Poem - Rage Almighty There was a dim streetlight That shivered in a naked parking lot Under the honesty of midnight and the deception of storm clouds Two drunken tongues argued ourselves sober As irony - made the air so thin And tragedy - made breathing so bitter We came to the ironic and tragic conclusion That being in love Is not a good reason for two people to stay together Irony: we had sex in this parking lot like a bunch of times right When a mattress was too fragile for our inhibitions Why love so hard on something so soft; we’re exhibitionists because some things are better received in public places Tragedy: so here we are Irony: we speak to each other so aggressively But communicate like pallbearers Tragedy: we laugh like opening caskets and smile like slit throats Irony: we’re horror story lovers afraid of a happy ending Irony: every argument then, is like the apocalypse now Tragedy: there is no tomorrow Irony: we knew this yesterday Tragedy: your heart beats Antigone - and I can’t be your Sophocles If I could rewrite this I would but I can’t so we’re here In this concrete cemetery approaching the afterlife of our relationship In every scary movie I’ve ever seen - tortured spirits don’t cross over So let’s walk away before we end up haunting each other for the rest of our lives Let’s stop being the Walking Dead and confirm that we’re the X-Files Mouths - numb from yelling Fingers - cramped from pointing Uncomfortable silence... is the sound of a glass house breaking And it ended with a kiss A reluctant smile and a mutual understanding that this has been torn apart and put together so many times The lines don’t match Our eyes don’t match Don’t sink We’ve sunk - to the lowest level of resentment with truthful lips Irony: you should never let a fool kiss you, And never let a kiss fool you Tragedy: I’ll probably be kissing women with thirty pieces of silver beneath my tongue when I leave you Irony: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet Tragedy: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet Irony: we’re only honest with each other when it comes to dishonesty Tragedy: peace with you was worth the war And I’ve given you pieces of me that I’ve never given myself They say - in order to rebuild, you must first destroy So maybe if we broke down We wouldn’t be breaking up Under the shivering streetlight In this naked parking lot Irony: I’m just now realizing that I’m going to be in love with you for the rest of my life Tragedy: you’re not gonna be around to know it
"You should never let a fool kiss you. And never let a kiss fool you."
OMG❤👌

Please step away
that is the sickest line - I'm going to be in love with you for the rest of my life, tragedy you're not going to be around to know it.
"Peace with you was worth the war and I've given you pieces of me I've never given myself" ~
this really fudged me up man💔
Tanathia Camacho I wanna use this is my book I'm going to quote him
Tanathia Camacho so good 😭
No comment
maybe if we broke down we wouldn't be breaking up...goddamn! that killed me 😕
The last line brought me to tears.
This is one of those poems that leaves you in silence wanting to hear more
“So let’s walk away before we end up haunting each other for the rest of our lives”
I come back to this poem, every time I feel down about my relationship, or feel like its coming to an end.
Relating….
“In order to rebuild you must first destroy” “so maybe if we broke down we wouldn’t be breaking up”
The one dislike is the person he went through a break up with
Natalie Ervin HAHAHA! Yasss! 🙌🏽
Dude, your words more than beatiful, they're real. It looks like you don't even say them, they flow through you. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent with the world. Thank you.
I'm only seeing this now, in 2021. And this speaks volumes. That closing line was amazing
"the most successful liars are the most honest people "

Holy shit
Breakup Poem - Rage Almighty
There was a dim streetlight
That shivered in a naked parking lot
Under the honesty of midnight and the deception of storm clouds
Two drunken tongues argued ourselves sober
As irony - made the air so thin
And tragedy - made breathing so bitter
We came to the ironic and tragic conclusion
That being in love
Is not a good reason for two people to stay together
Irony: we had sex in this parking lot like a bunch of times right
When a mattress was too fragile for our inhibitions
Why love so hard on something so soft; we’re exhibitionists because some things are better received in public places
Tragedy: so here we are
Irony: we speak to each other so aggressively
But communicate like pallbearers
Tragedy: we laugh like opening caskets and smile like slit throats
Irony: we’re horror story lovers afraid of a happy ending
Irony: every argument then,
is like the apocalypse now
Tragedy: there is no tomorrow
Irony: we knew this yesterday
Tragedy: your heart beats Antigone - and I can’t be your Sophocles
If I could rewrite this I would but I can’t so we’re here
In this concrete cemetery approaching the afterlife of our relationship
In every scary movie I’ve ever seen - tortured spirits don’t cross over
So let’s walk away before we end up haunting each other for the rest of our lives
Let’s stop being the Walking Dead and confirm that we’re the X-Files
Mouths - numb from yelling
Fingers - cramped from pointing
Uncomfortable silence... is the sound of a glass house breaking
And it ended with a kiss
A reluctant smile and a mutual understanding that this has been torn apart and put together so many times
The lines don’t match
Our eyes don’t match
Don’t sink
We’ve sunk - to the lowest level of resentment with truthful lips
Irony: you should never let a fool kiss you,
And never let a kiss fool you
Tragedy: I’ll probably be kissing women with thirty pieces of silver beneath my tongue when I leave you
Irony: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet
Tragedy: the most successful liars are the most honest people you’ll ever meet
Irony: we’re only honest with each other when it comes to dishonesty
Tragedy: peace with you was worth the war
And I’ve given you pieces of me that I’ve never given myself
They say - in order to rebuild, you must first destroy
So maybe if we broke down
We wouldn’t be breaking up
Under the shivering streetlight
In this naked parking lot
Irony: I’m just now realizing that I’m going to be in love with you for the rest of my life
Tragedy: you’re not gonna be around to know it
oh wowww
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG...
Wow Bro
Yikes!
Wow
True
I liked this one poem
