I always find my way back to these videos, can’t seem to forget

My friend that passed away always used to tell me about “this crazy chick” it was his sister…. And it’s crazy bc it was so evident how much he loved her…. And that “one stupid dude” was his brother…. That “dragon lady” was his mom…. But he loved them so much and although he knew he was dying he never failed to bring a smile to your face…. When I had my worst days he somehow had a way to make me laugh… RIP DANIEL

This still makes me cry

this is such an important piece, this needs to be taught in schools

After years since i've first heard this poem, and after all the times before i've heard it, it still never fails to make me choke up crying. Shane Koyczan's poems always speak to me.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.

I used to listen to this and some of his other poems in middle school when I was suicidal I’m now 21 with a one year old, thank you Shane you truly saved me in my roughest time I kept going

"He asks me if I believe in angels And before I realize I don’t have the heart to tell him, I tell him, “Not lately.” And I just lay there waiting for him to hate me But he doesn’t know how to, so he never does" damn. Thats my favorites part.

This is by far the most touching yet heart-wrenching story I've ever heard and it makes me cry every time.

You really know how to make a grown man cry.. Beautiful as always. You are easily my favourite modern poet.

“The truth is… there aren’t enough miracles to go around, kid.”

What’s the humming in the background?

“See this from my father, see this from my brother, see this from that weird girl,see this from my mother. Took me about two days to figure out that weird girl is his sister; it took him about two hours after she left for him to figure out he missed her” this part breaks me everytime cus I don’t get to see my sister much and my mom has a sister who went missing (is dead) when she was around 13

currently crying

For the record the artist is shayne koyzcan

This still makes me cry.

There's not enough miracles to go around kid... I remember praying and praying.... the Crickets have Arthritis, yet with voices like yours, we will never be silent...

I just foung this and i'm totally shocked, tremendous!

THIS should be the Cancer foundations' fundraiser campaign, this string of words is why I love poetry, it uses a carefully chosen string of words to convey the idea that people try hard to express with shorts of kids speaking and adults crying to no avail.

I’m getting a cricket with angel wings with a fallen feather for this poem

“Louis asked if I believe in angels. And before I realize I don’t have the heart to tell him, I tell him not lately, and I just laid there waiting for him to hate me. But he doesn’t know how to, so he never does. Louis loves like a man who lived in a time before god gave religion to man and left to them to figure out what hate was. He never greets me with silence, only smiles and a patience I’ve never seen in someone who knows they’re dying.” Can’t help but bawl my eyes out..

I loved this video when it was first uploaded by Panda Paws Rescue. Still love it although the quality of this video is not very good... not like the original but it appears it is the only one still online, so thank you for that.

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

You made me cry.

I learned about this poem from a Sanders Sides fanfiction...

You are a wonderful talent. Don't stop.

Haven’t heard this in years and gotta say I needed it.

Do you believe in angels... he pulls a feather from his pillow as a farewell gift for his friend. “This is the first one I grew” ...bruh u bawled imagining him saying that.

he's a living legend

Shane koyczan is a pure genesis

damn i really just ugly cried

i’m not a masochist i whisper into the dark while i cry to every video by this man and then scroll to find the next.

The last line “you see this is the first one I grew” makes me cry even more every time... Shane knows how to tell a story and he’s genuine about it you can hear it when his voice break

Idk if he meant this but when the boy says , "please don't tell my dad", it could be about cursing but I got the feeling it had just as much to do with not telling his father how scared he is.... I've kept alot from my dad, pain and fear because I didn't want to worry him further, I can't imagine how much a boy like that must internalize without sharing :(

The lines about ice cream hit me hard

Love a good Shane koyczan poem

Goddamn...that’s the only word I can say. Did we all just eat humble pie ? Beautiful and powerful poem. This is what art was meant to be.

what kind of dumbasses still have a kill someone gang initiation? probably a gang made up of dumb kids who watched too many films. Was hoping he'd sit on the chair

Wow Fox, this is so great!!

Me: Im crying also me:Oh no, anyway

in his fucking BAGGG w this one

I would have been just a few weeks old when this happened

This is the story Joyner Lucas was rapping about

Who else here from tik tok?

The silence in the middle is so loud...........

I was reconvening from cancer at 12 when I found this and it still hurts to hear

I first heard Sholders from Shane. And then I found this glorious piece and My Darling Sarah. And now I have a tattoo of a feather on my sholder with he line "the first one I grew"

Dont mined me imma just (◞‸◟ㆀ)
