"Like good poems teenage girls for the first time are just learning to be heard not just read over" LOVE THIS🙌🏻

Exactly 😣😭💕 this poem is on POINT
I’ve heard a lot of passionate audience responses but I don’t think i’ve ever heard genuine screams of living.
Started crying when she said she wanted to be a woman not just because she looked like one.... phew go off sis 🙌🏽
same!!! so powerful
same!!
“so I learned to stare back hard into the male gaze daring it to cross me” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I WILL NEVER STOP SCREAMING ABOUT HOW PROUD I AM OF THESE TEEN GIRLS TODAY WHO DONT JUST SIT DOWN BUT STAND UP AND DEMAND TO BE HEARD. When i was 17 if I stood up I would be knocked right back down. Fists and words. I'm 25 now and just beginning to find my own voice. I'm behind you. I adore you. Thank you. This made my soul soar.
"That my teenage years end more like a semi-colon and less like a period..."
SO GOOD
This poem was incredible and that part hit me really hard
I dont get that one
Wynter Wonderland semi-colons (;) are used when the sentence after continues the idea. A period ends the idea to start another one. So the poet is saying that they want their story to continue growing off of what they’ve already lived through instead of seeming like starting over
@@jaemimi9499 dang that's deep thanks
I’m 13
And I’ve been
*Assaulted*
*Miss used*
*Beaten*
*Broken*
But guess what what?
*I’m in love*
Not with a boy nor a girl
*With myself*
I survived
*Eight Suicide attempts*
*Depression*
*Sexual Assaults*
*Death*
*Life*
*Having no parents*
I am in love with living
*I AM ALIVE*
So, I will stand
To love whom ever I please
To vote for whom I want
To work where I want
*To live*
And no one
Man, women, child, or animal
Is going to stand in my way
You commented this forever ago but I'd just like to say I'm proud of you and I love you
Thanks, for being strong for yourself, for finding beauty in living 💜
I stan you
Congratulations.
I love you you strong beautiful woman❤❤

"That my teenage years end more like a semi-colon and less like a period..."

She did what? She did THAT!🙌🏿
“Teenage girls for the first time are just learning how to be heard
Not just read over”
This poem speaks the words I didn’t know how to
This was everything I needed and as a teenage girl I am grateful
Am I the only one crying? That was empowering in an overwhelming way.
Bookish Shenanigans me omg
I cried on every syllable she spoke. You're not alone in this!!
Why don’t we study poems like this for GCSE
because we live in a society that thinks teaching teenagers about "la belle dame sans merci" is better than teaching them shit with meaning. shit that could save lives. shit that could be the reason that a woman stands up for herself and demands she is heard. shit that makes the boys in ur class finally realize that no. women are not inferior and they must stop treating them as though they were
Well at least we found this on our own. I do so wish they thought this at school.
@@SticktheTwig at my school they do. We have poetry club and teachers who really help and teach poetry
I love how she incorporated literature. She really just said "a truck driver commented on my ASSonance" I said 😮😮
I'm 20 and it has taken me until just recently to feel like I deserve to be heard, yet most days I'm still too scared to do it.
God I love this she’s my age
She’s strong and beautiful and I can see her going far in life
What was the line everyone freaked out about? I couldn’t really hear it.
Not the trump one, (which I LOVED) the one at the beginning
"13 tought me i was a witch who could pull languages out of boys they didnt know they could speak, as if my similies could swollow them whole and my metaphores could make men out of them''
i too am a 17 year old girl and resonated with this poem so much, i felt every word, every syllable, every breath. Great poem
“not because i look like one but because i want to” i had goosebumps the entire time
What an absolute goddess, poetic genius.
“Loving myself because there are so many more important things to resist.” Good lord that hit.
i wish i had as much support as that audience exudes
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
No matter how often I listen it brings tears to my eyes. She’s so eloquent and her lines are so beautiful, and as a girl of the same age I can do deeply relate
you are a whole entire QUEEN
Speechless. That was truly amazing. Wow
And my truth can't help but boil out of me... 🔥🔥🔥
I'm literally dying at how amazing this is. It sends such a good message to young teen girls, such as myself. This girl will continue to empower women in her life & I can't wait to see what she does next.
OMG how the hell did she write this??? You go girl!
This is 2021 anyone still watching this masterpiece?
This poem is so lit. I love it. This is the kind of confidence every teenage girl should have while using her voice.
I don't even know what to say. Poetry that makes me cry is my favourite kind of poetry. This shook me and moved me and everyone NEEDS to see this
I was literally here in my room just cheering her on "YOU TELL EM SIS"
She killed it 👏👏👏
This still makes me cry
I love this poem it relates so much to my life it makes me cry
Am 17 am a writer and a poet also an actress am proud of me 💯💯
That’s amazing! Keep that self confidence, don’t let it get away from you. I hope you’re still doing well!
This girl, no, this WOMAN, gave me chills. Such a strong lady with such a strong voice, she will go places. ❤
This made me want to cry. I love this.
i’m weeping this is so beautiful
the energy in that room and the support is sooooo amazing, what an great audience
Fuck yeah! I’m turning 13 next month! This is beautiful!
Wow this poem is very empowering and really speaks to how society treats teenage girls, who have yet to become women!!!!❤️🥰😍
This audience is like totally into it, wow
im in tears.. thank you for writing this!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I have goosebumps more people need to see this
literal shivers
INCREDIBLE. So powerful and perfect. Everything I needed to hear.
this is some of the best word play I've ever seen
When someday spoken word poetry will be a part of literature syllabus, this one has to be a part of it 🖤
"First thing that goes is your innocence", 13. That is what happened.
I lost it at 11
the kind of poetry i aspire to write
Goosebumps......
You go girl. This poem is awesome!!
This genuinely made me tear up. I have chills, wow
This made chills run through my body godDAMN
Beautiful in the most humble way. The power in confidence shakes the stage
1:46, gave me goosebumps.
It still gives me goosebumps, I love this person so much!
i LOVE the audiences reactions omg
It's been 3 years and I still come back to this video from time to time
i don’t even have words to explain how thankful i am for this, you are an amazing woman, a strong, independant and amazing woman
this should go viral
Oof yes here for this relatable I'm loving this poem
absolute chills. I love her
This is so powerful. So much raw emotion
Incredible. Her voice awakens things inside of people. I started crying.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST POEMS I HAVE EVER HEARD
Hands up. One of the best I've heard this year. I'm proud
I'm 12 I'm type 1 diabetic and I have anxiety I have problems expressing my feelings so I bottled up all my sadness and when it spills out I call my a burden and week and I close the bottle as much as I can just so that no one knows because expressing the emotions you don't know why you have is gonna be harder in front of people just cry it out alone then close the bottle again
I turned 16 in 2016 too. It was exactly like this.
Watching this I felt sooo emotional, it made me to remember those adolescents that was taken advantage of, I felt like crying the pain , the neglect ..this is wow kudus to us the spoken word artist I love this .
Oh my gosh im tearing up... WOW GO YOU SISTER
Any teenage guys in the comments? We need more guys listening to this.
i may be a trans boy but i can relate to this poem so much-
this gave me chills. beautiful work.
I LOVE THIS. this was well spoken truly something every young girl shall hear.
Reminds me of girl code by Blythe Baird
I have an assignment about having to choose a poem and write why I chose it. I chose this one. This one truly speaks to me as I can relate to this too much. I am excited and proud that I found and chose this one. This one speaks to my heart ❤
This sent chills down my spine. Amazing.
She reminds me of Anne with an E for some reason.
Yeah I see it, her will to be heard, confidence, etc
*I'm speechless..............*
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This was absolutely astounding.
that was so beautiful
l
That gave me chills
Everyone needs to hear this! Beautiful Job.
I cried to this. This is so powerful. I love this. GO IN, SIS!!!!!
this gave me goosebumps oh my god
In my ELA/ reading class everyone got to play one song or video and I played this, my teacher was so happy that I knew what this was (no one knew, I was sad) she said she was happy that I watched and listened to such meaningful things (everyone played songs about drugs, sex, murder. Ya know all that)
I love the emotion in her voice.
I nearly cried, this girl is amazing
Im 12. Ive been through some things, and im going through some things. Ive been getting through it with God, but this helped me, I've cried.
Thank you.
Life at twelve sounds nice.
But my innocence was robbed far too early and I was left with barely my life in a hospital room on my 12th birthday.
I've never been so thankful to fail anything as I am thankful I failed my suicide attempt.
♥
💗 be strong
I had very similar experiences, I hope you’re doing better, did you notice the blue bracelet on her wrist? It looks like one from a hospital to me but I’m not sure
You tell them Queen. We’re with you 💕
