    Hi beats!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 50 SUBS. I can't believe there are 55 of you that tune in and watch my content. Just a little back story, I like to call my subscribers beats as a play on my name. An EKG is used to measure the electrical conduction of the heart, i.e. the heart beat. You all keep me going and I am forever grateful to share my platform with you! I hope you enjoyed today's video. Here's to our growing family!

    8:44 I quote your poem:
    "River
    The girl who sees herself
    in the river.
    Wild, beautifully flowing.
    An eternal chasm of holy water.
    The source of life's steps.
    Twisting and turning
    to her grand origin".
    It is just amazing and beautiful! It reminds me of Life itself🌊. Thank you for sharing ❤

    Must say all the pts u've stated abt how u write is very relatable nd natural.
    I'm a beginner nd I wanna explore my poetic talent coz I used to write in childhood
    I just came up with these lines so wanna just write here:
    I hear the sound of rain pouring heavily
    The flow of thoughts running like a melody
    I look at my plant that is ready to bloom
    With a heart tuning in with harmony in the room

    This is extremely helpful. I have thoughts or hear things that I should be writing down all the time and I don't. I feel you're 100% right about taking advantage of it while you can, write it down. I'm gonna start doing that

I (Ste) love writing spoken word poetry and although (as you also mentioned), I am definitely not an expert, my creative process is super similar to yours! Keep up the great work and hope to one day cross paths and maybe even collaborate on UA-cam if it makes sense!! ☺️💛PS: love the poem you read out at the end!

    The waves engulfed my dismantled body
    My heart pulverized
    My bones shattered
    Your reigning prosperity was my sole priority
    To guarantee your happiness
    Was to guarantee my sanity
    Everyone displays their affection
    Everyone refuses our solitary
    Our affairs are for others to publicize
    I perish on our pedestal
    To provide you a sanctuary

      Too mature isn’t a thing. Don’t let them deter you. It’s therapy, this self expression. It helps you process the world and your thoughts.

    • @ebonykenae
      @ebonykenae  2 роки тому +2

      keep going for sure! waiting wouldn't feel right, especially if poetry is something you love. you should read The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo if you haven't. It's an excellent book about a young girl who is finding her voice through poetry.

    was I a liar
    A baby with a pacifier
    Living for the expectations of people
    A movie with a never ending sequel
    My ignorance has caused pain
    In isolation behind the blinds to shame
    Again and again I'd blame.......
    Did I ever realize
    That every action has it's prize
    Dying and taking it's daily dose.......
    "Many ways of Suicide without a lead to the dome"
    Seeming well and composed
    Strolling around but really a ghost
    I'm scared of myself
    The one who sells Heaven but presents me a hell_So much moments to dwell
    (Walking forward it's hard
    when your driving towards the past in a car)
    A battle with mind
    Over matter in mine
    The beast in my head
    The things that he says
    Ignore'em I must
    Restore'm to dust
    This guilt in my gut
    We'll kill and we'll cut
    Till_
    our will and our trust
    Reminds me of us.......
