"Check on your strong friends! Don't believe us, I promise we are just pretending." Wow!!! 💫
So true
That line spoke to me the most.
@@BD401K same!
Makes me shake just to read it let alone hear it. Being strong is merely a defense mechanism. It’s keep us alive but not safe...check on the strong friends
Right :( !!
"Did I mention, I paid off my student loans with poetry? Can't nobody tell me I'm not the shit but me." LET ME TELL YOU...IT MAY BE DIFFICULT BUT, WITH A PLAN, IT IS POSSIBLE!
I respect you
"If your path is more difficult, it's because your calling is higher". Nice! I felt that!
Me too... I keep reaching inside searching for the moment that will define my existence and I pull back my fist empty.. maybe the truth is I've been afraid of the words I might find if only I could grasp them. I never let ppl in or the thoughts out.. but I always wonder why I feel trapped.
Yes
@@triniiam4231 I feel the same. Literally just had an anxiety episode. But I'm fighting everyday to get better and I know I will overcome soon. Just keep fighting sis♥️ You are not alone, you are loved, you matter, you are amazing, you are wonderful and you will overcome and blossom into the purposeful being you were created to be 💪
@@theliberatedqueen603 love power & positivity to you ♥️ thanks
I felt that.
Because whew.
"Have you ever tried to tell someone you're not okay, and they're like:
"You're good!"
And you're like "But I'm not."
And they're like: "You got this!"
And you're like "But I don't"
And they're like "Keep going!"
And you're like "...Okay""
that whole section just broke my heart because.. yes
Yeah, I felt it.
Yes that is me
Bruh.
...same here.
Heart's broken...
Wow.
💜 "I wish being a good person paid more"
"It's the wounds people can't see that hurt the most" 🔥🔥🔥
I felt that!!
Has to mean something that I stumbled upon this right before I went to sleep...right when I needed it most 😭🙏🏾🙌🏾
Me too bro. Now I'm crying 😭
Right on TIME.... I needed this as much as it Needed to be Expressed!!!
Thanks SIS...
Glad you found yourself better in this.
“These poems act as self help, I’m a healer, not only for myself, but one time a kid told me he almost killed himself but, he heard one of my poems and decided to keep living, and from that day forward I was like, today is a good day to keep someone alive.”
That’s real❤️
“I wish being a good person paid more”
Wow " I wish being a good person paid more." I wish it did.
"I was draining and screaming but everyone was thinking, I was swimming and smile"
😪😪😪😪
4:04 really got to me because I feel that way all the time. And my friends wonder why I don’t share how I feel with them. It’s like I tried and you dismissed it instead of listening!
Exactly what you said is exactly how I've been feeling lately. I try to share, but it gets dismissed as if it's not as important as what they're going through. But yet I'm there for them despite what I'm battling. Sheesh
Those aren't friends.
The one dislike is from abusive ex
HIGH KEY!
“If your path is more difficult its because your calling is higher” - i really hope so... its been a hott minute since a Piece made me cry so hard😭. Thank you.
I hope so too hun! I hope you're doing alright for real. Sending love! ❤️❤️
Why am I crying. The student loan part. Lawd cover mine's
This poem perfectly embodies how I have felt since coming to college. I'm doing so well, but that doesn't stop me from feeling drained, exhausted, lonely, like im not enough, and so much more, but I love what I do. I know I have success & love in my bones, but sometimes I really do just want a shoulder besides my own to cry on. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece!
“ I heard it’s the wounds people can’t see that hurts the most” whewww chileee felt
Best thing someone said to me at one of the lowest, grittyest, most painful, lost, alone times of my life, was "you're gonna land on your feet" wow...I could breathe again and I looked forward and around me, and lifted my eyes to thank god, for that lady on call during that lostass point I was in
Why haven’t I heard this girl until now??
“I’m the kind of giant that’s been through what I’ve been through and you can still depend on..”
I'm not watching this for the first time, but it's new everytime I watch it. It's like falling in love with a person everytime you see them.
May you find a lover that helps you love yourself "
ma'am, you just reminded that i am capable of feeling.
"i wish being a good person paid more"
CHECK ON YOUR STRONG FRIENDS‼️🗣
I cried like a baby and felt every word in my soul. 💛
Me too
5:20 blew my little mind. Thank you.
May you find a lover that helps you live your yourself 👌🏾💯
Stunning. Thank you and look after YOU!!!! x
Oh... im sobbing!
“Can’t no body tell me I ain’t the shit but ME”
“So I say I be Hero and Legend”
❤️
Always come across these poems right when I need to hear them. This was beautiful.
The hero and legend. She's incredible.
Hey I checked out your music. Ur incredible too✨ #HeroAndLegend
He IS!
I just want to hug her.
Needed this. Applause to the poet. Profound.
There are bumpy paths and this inspired me to achieve my goals going through depression emotionally abusive relationships at a young age wondering if I’ll ever find love but why em I focusing on love and I’m young and have my whole life ahead of me … telling myself the future will await me a man for the woman I am becoming
I love her😭❤❤
"Can't nobody steal my joy; not even myself" 👏
Goosebumps everytime
Goddess Stewart if you read this from the very depths of my being I want to say THANK YOU❤
“No one can tell when I’m not doing well but me”🥺
I have come to learn that no one can tell when I'm not doing well but me💖
Love this and thank you Ebony Stewart. Sharing with my 47-year-old son who's going thru some things right now.
"I been in my prime like nine times" COME ON EBONY!!!
cLaiming it like the Queen you are 🤩👸🏿🤩
It's the wounds that people don't see that hurt the most💞💞
Thus really resonated with me about myself and my youngest daughter thats gives so much of herself to others....I fear sometimes that she will lose herself and will have nothing to give herself!!
“May you find a lover that helps you love yourself; may you find a lover that doesn’t require you to give more to them than you have give to yourself” 💛
Sent this to my daughter.. thank you
Don't believe us, I promise we're pretending"
Facts!!.
Yikes I'm so touched. 😩 ❤️

They need it more😭😭
Damn!....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
“Did I mention I paid off my student loans with poetry” 🔥🔥🔥 “Can’t nobody tell me I’m not the shut but me” 😭♥️😭
It's the wounds people can't see that hurts the most.
You killed the lies...you killed the stage...you killed it all but you revived parts of a dead soul.
Girl looks like a Lioness.
You are speaking… I can relate a little too well 😢
So much energy. Very inspiring. Cheers to you. ❤
@5:13 "if your path is more difficult its because your calling is higher" I felt that through an through
I'm the kind of giant that's been through what I've been through and you can still depend on-my anxiety felt attacked

This is the one that made me fall in love with your strength and voice
Serve👏🏽. Them👏🏽. Sis👏🏽!
'I pray, I leave something good behind'...Humbling, powerful, creative. inspiring, real poem...I love you Ebony..Keep soaring higher
“Check on your strong friends, check on your strings friends, check on your strong friends. I promise we’re pretending”
I felt the emotions on this one
"Don't believe us we are just pretending,...." that hit me on a different level.
Those who stay smiling and strong, people don't get the fire they go through behind closed doors.
Thank you Ebony! Keep going!!! As a fellow poet / professional speaker, I know how it feels to pour into an audience and leave the room super-charged, only to feel drained by the time you get back to your room. Keep going! Because you are making a difference and charging others batteries with your message.
One of the greats
"I me I me I me. I must be blessed. Im winning."
Omg these ppl are so full of themselves. She is a victim because of others, but is a healer.
"I'm the shit" "i wish being a good person paid more."
Omfg. Get a grip of yourself "im the kind of giant who...". Wow. She tried to put a lil rap in there 😆 "i could do this woth my eyes closed."
What people?
And her poem is about her affirming herself while dealing with poor mental health. So, it’s going to be centered around her
If the poem went right over your ignorant head just go ahead and say that, hun. It's much easier than talking a lot and saying so little. ❤️
Thank you 🖤 thank you a million times!
Do what you love, God is good
These poems act as self help imma healer! Dis part hit me also....
Can't noboby take my joy not even my self! Dis part to.....
This is beautiful. You are beautiful. You are growing you will fade and you will grow some more been at your prime 9 times and you got as many more coming as you choose. It's up to up to you to win or lose. But rise "if your path is more difficult its because your calling is higher" you go as high as you work for and fall as many times as you choose not to get up and keep fighting. Fighting for the ability to smile the ability to love yourself the drive to keep going to fulfill your heart your soul with joy with happiness that you deserve and nobody can take from you.
Keep working Ebony. And filling ears and minds with knowledge experience wisdom positivity and kindness. Dont forget you. Because if you aren't okay you cant do what you love which gives others the feeling of just being okay. ❤much love sister- Morgan PA
the city of the love we choose, yet lack so heavily right now.
Check in your strong friends..
Damn, I felt that
This poetry changed my life
If your path is difficult it’s because your calling is higher.....damn
Beautiful!! IF YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN OR IF YOU TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN'T... BOTH ARE TRUE!! DEPENDS ON WITCH LION ONE FEEDS.
"I'll be hero and legend, nobody built like me - I designed myself! But every time I climb, my community get co-signed!" Thanks for giving words to the weight of what I've been feeling. Living purpose is not easy - rewarding but not easy. I appreciate the reminder to not let anyone steal my joy - even myself!
Holding on close and tightly
The tension of the city keeps riding me
An escape, a sanctuary
Seeking something to help rid me
Of the hostilities that tie me
For a moment of truth and closure
I lay beside the ever motion water
The impulse of the ocean is what I am after
If it’s rocky, then lay a bed
If it’s just sand, then spread those legs
I believe it’s a place made for me
Made by the most I, to surrender
A place for individuals to gather
It’s a place that allows a union
Just the ocean and me, the perfect communion
A partner, my spiritual lover, and a companion
The taste of the air is fair
Enough to judge and try me
Fill with salt and chatters of the birds
Waves colliding
Together with rocks and sand, just mating
I am and will be the ocean’s darling
For now, leave me as the devotee
As many as there are, they bring me a peace
Guilty is the plead;
Letting my problems devour the bed of the sea
Lock hands and legs against the undulating tides
Smother my face when I take a nosedive
One day, I’ll see myself marrying a wave
To be taken far back to the inside of the ocean
Finally, I’ll get to be its baby
Lay in its bed while the sun kisses and greets me

I come back and listen to this every single time I'm feeling lost. This one still brings tears to my eyes but it does it because it makes me realize I'm stronger than what I realize.
