“I forced my body to lie in bed with a lying ass woman and never apologized to myself for the restlessness.” This woman touches my heart with her poems every time🤍
“I don’t own enough of forever to give it to nobody” so profound. The production was immaculate. Jasmine Mans is a force.
"Why hold you hostage to an apology that won't get better over time."
Whew!! This is line cut so deep it
The production, the poem, one of the greatest poets of our time 🤌🏾😘
THE POETRY 💯
THE VISUALS 💯
THE ENERGY 💯
THE VOCALS 💯
" Why hold you hostage for an apology that won't get better over time" 🥺
Been captivated by how you meticulously bend words to your beckoning call since “Brave New Voices” I can’t express how amazing your gift is.
I went on a poetry binge tonight because my spirit was low and I haven't felt inspired to write poetry lately. I sent a friend a Brittany Barker piece and they said it reminded them of Jasmine Mans, who I had never heard of before now. This is just too beautiful bruh. It takes a helluva soul to sit down and pen something like this, so deep that a hetero man can apply it to their own experiences. She's especially special in a world of mediocre pens 💜
“how come you hide me like i’m ugly” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow. this is wow. amazing.
The poem & cinematography reminds me of a movie I didn't know I needed to see.🖤
Or a book I want to read!
I’ve literally watched this at least 50x. I was fortunate enough to meet jasmine in undergrad when she performed at my school back in 2012/2013. I’ve been captivated ever since.
Jasmine Mans always finds the words, even when the world simply cannot. Her art is timeless as is she. Thanks for sharing this very intimate and poetic piece with us.
Beautiful poem I love you jasmine mans
This is absolutely beautiful jas
This is everything I felt about my last break up put into words and laid bare. Thank you for this vulnerable, extraordinary, and poignantly human piece.
I will have to watch this multiple times just to take it all in . Pure greatness
You’ve done it again my love . I’m here in tears and everything about this is helping me release my past pain .
Still the only person that can speak breath into the corpse love has made of my heart🍃
Jasmine, I have seriously been fan girling over you for years. Rudy, Jennah, PFC movement. Uggghhhhh. I MISSS THISSS and NEEEEDDDD this!!!! You spoke to my soul in a way I can't even imagine, and the way you use your God given gift is truly amazing. Your purpose is your voice, your delivery, your poise, your strength. The growth in this poem even WITH the deep reflection speaks volumes of the woman you have poured into being over the years. I just can't even stop.... I could literally go on forever. I will be doing a praise dance to this ensemble cause uuhhh... yes ma'am. It brought it out in me.
I find myself coming back to this video so often…it strikes something in me so deep. I wish I had more content like this to rely on when I was growing up.
I had to come back to say I’m so interested in how Jasmine has been able to merge poetry with music …for years. I’m so inspired to try it!!! My two biggest loves music and poetry ❤
I have no words. Just tears.
Who is singing in the background? Her voice is so beautiful and filled with emotions.....
I am a man that has never heard someone put exactly how I feel to paper or audio and this has given me enough to…… let GO!
Thank u sister!!!!
This ish go so hard. Thank you for being vulnerable and real. You took the words outta my own soul and poured out as an offering for the globe. For all of us.
Never drop your quill, Jasmine.
Wow….just wow…after reading Black Girl Call Home and now experiencing this video. I’m more than motivated to take my writing seriously.
" I don't own enough of forever to give it to nobody" whuuuu 🥺😭
I’d rather love you alone than love you a liar … shuuu

OMG, Jasmine...
Although I think excising and processing art outside the artist’s context can run the risk of minimizing the artists intention, i cant help but feel like maybe this poem can be understood as the two lovers being the same person. At least for me, i cried the first time I heard this poem because it felt like a very similar anger/ disheartened spirit i had with myself. Aren’t we our own greatest lovers, and haven’t we, in some capacity, betrayed the intimacy and trust of ourself. I know reading between the lines is a dangerous game in literature because we start projecting rather than consuming but… can i understand this poem outside of a woman being cheated on? Does that detract or shift away from your intention? Also, with the greatest respect and curiosity ever, I think this poem along with other pieces of yours opens the doors for a consideration in the ways that heteronormative, patriarchal indoctrinations find their way in to same sex relationships. Which leads to the bigger question I have about something you said in an interview about wanting to normalize lesbian relationships...But a UA-cam comment sections may not be the place for my questions. I truly love your work, it floors me how beautiful it is, and frustrates me because I am trying not to project and find hidden meanings that simply don’t exist. Also, is there a line when analyzing work that a reader should not cross? Hopefully you see this, and if you do… Hi, this is magnificent, you are magnificent i recommended my professor read your book because i need someone to talk it through with. Also I apologize for the punctuation.
The epitome of the beautiful ugly that is relationship.
I can't even talk 😭😭😭
