"To create something is to cut a piece of yourself for the world to hate"

My opinion : this poem is about his experiences when writing poetry. This poem is metaphoric in the sense that he compares writing poetry to a wild west adventure.

"Any traveller knows second guessing is death. So saddle your story and ride. Holy riders of the west, and riders of heaven. The ones that bind books and shoot revolvers of ink to speak of time" ❤️

Butterfly Taster ikr! isn't it amazing

"Only to realize all that's left is acceptance." HELL YEAH, that was an amazing line. I loved this entire piece and the atmosphere of it really got me. I couldnt stop listening. Well done.

This is a true work of art, amazing what the combination of poetry, animation and an electric guitar can make! Pure magic.

The best creative work I've seen in a long time. Very well done indeed.

I love these animated spoken word poetry!

[@indigo6485]

The rhythm of his voice makes his words seem befitting

[@7opinions182]

Amazing!

[@morganequilfen4993]

What a voice 😍

[@resilientwriter]

This is amazing.
Seeing submission from last year that (i'm assuming) didn't place or at least didn't get first makes me so nervous about mine because they're still KILLER.
I loved the music in the background of this and his voice not to mention the visuals. Wonderful.
