    "These are all bad ideas, you should know better" at the end sent chills down my spine

      it was like... putting a deeper meaning to all the stuff said before whether it was funny, political commentary or just sad

    "When asked the question if you are a criminal , know that the verdict has already been decided"

    I learned silence when I realized everyone around me was hungry. Wow. This is beautiful.

    This subject is the subject of so many slam poets, but some people still can have a fresh take on it, a perspective that makes you understand more. This was one of those.

  • @JustALovelyLdy
    @JustALovelyLdy 6 років тому +2

    Yes to all of this. To wonder how to exist as myself when I have always been someone else, learning silence is hard to figure out when you have already been determined to be something else.

  • @elizabethknight7314
    @elizabethknight7314 6 років тому +1

    This makes my heart ache every time I listen to it. I hate our society for making this poem a necessity. But brave souls like his are the only reason there is any hope for change. I'm so grateful for him and people like him willing to stand against the world.
