Thank you so much
its 2024 and i still listen once a week
this is incredible... poetry is healing 110% - helps so much in life and keeps us living :)
Mashalla, beautiful words young sister ♡ I hope life is treating you kind ♡
Here in 2024 this is fireeeeee
literally the best poem I have heard all my life
My name is Princess and I've been writing poetry for two years if not since I was 6. First, it was out of passion till people started telling me I could make money out of it. When I realised I didn't know how and I couldn't help my family, I became devastated. I've been having thoughts of suicide many times that even my therapy is not helping with.This poem has given me re-found hope and a part of me that seemed dead has been awoken. I pray daily to rise through these ashes, but I never knew how. But now I do. And I am grateful for finding this poem in time.
I listen to this in my lowest times and it keeps saving me
Hi. I'm Rev.Kapp from the Unitarian Universalists of Cumberland Valley. I'd love to ues this video in one of our church services centered around poetry. These are holy words. May i please have permission to use it on the screen in our chapel?
All I’m wondering, is how have I never heard this before?! Maybe the most important & powerful words ever spoken.
“Bless the body and blood stripped bare for some shadow of salvation” holy shit.
Being a poet isn't about pretty prose. Some days, it is just about being alive.❤️🩹✨
I loved every word of this
Her voice is powerful❤…. Mix that with the poem and i am just speechless🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this

You are absolutely amazing!!🙌
Wow !!!❤❤❤
I’ve been writing poetry since 2015 and it’s definitely been one thing that’s kept me alive and express my emotions, my poems are so sad though and they talk about depression and suicide, I’m scared to show it to people that can’t handle it but I know a lot of people out there might need to hear it….
