I love that everyone in the comments is respecting their gender pronouns, it's nice to see a mostly positive response to someone in the trans community
technically trans just means someone who identifies as something other than what they were assigned at birth. i readily say im trans and i identify as agender.
hi. i'm sorry for asking you this but what do you mean by the pronouns? i keep seeing this on the comment section but i have no clue what is it all about. do you mind explaining it to me? :)
+Khalilah Baharin their T-shirt says "they/them", which means they want to be called as such and don't identify as cis gender. Their gender identity is non binary- which means they could be agender, gender fluid or neutrois.
This one really moved me. They did such a beautiful job writing and performing this. I hope they never stop speaking up, there's so much power in their voice.
i like long walks on the beach directly into the bottom of the ocean. sometimes i let my phone die and i envy it. despite my best efforts, i am real. too many people have claimed they can read me like a book, and then they went and put me on a shelf. there are so many good lines in this poem. i teared up listening to this.
y'all're freaking out about "sometimes when my phone dies and i envy it" (which, yes, is an amazing line) but "17. despite my best efforts, i am real" is so much deeper
As a Aquarius I can confirm and claim I broke the dislike button .🤗😂 jk: the poem was too astonishing to do if I did i would be scared that the cops would come for me.❤️💞💞
I have watched this four times. Not all at once, not wanting to spoil it. This person has made me come back to watch this video with their words over and over again. I have yet to find a more addictive poem
this is my favorite poem in all of the world. I've never heard something I relate so heavily to. there isn't a single word I can't relate to. thank you for this
I come back to this often , I quote it, I feel it, I remember it and listen to it in my head in class. It’s so important to me and I don’t even know why
There were just so many punch lines in this poem .. so many lines that hit me hard.. "Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it" "I like long walk to the beach and to the bottom of the ocean" "Despite all my efforts I'm real"
absolutely loved this!!!! wowowowooww. lucky I'm home alone beacuse I squealed a little bit at "I like long walks on the beach, directly into the bottom of the ocean." and I also signed for a gym membership after I started medication that was the worse decision of my life. I've watched this four times and I still can't even .Love it love it love it.
True thing u said about people reading us as books and keeping in shelves. Words and voice got such an impact. Keep on! The last few lines are personal and touched me.
I just had that exact same thing happen to me, but on Lexapro. It's a horrible experience. This poem describes it perfectly. I think the most telling part of the poem is that his eyes are watering the entire time like he's about to cry.
This is really amazing. I've listened to it four times now, and I just can't get enough. Its a wonderful thing when someone puts words to your feelings, knowing you're not alone really does help for me, since I always feel like I'm too crazy for this world and its inhabitants.
"I suddenly remembered that I am inside an actual human body and this terrifies me so much that I burst into tears." I know this line came off as funny, but I couldn't relate more. Sometimes you realize how incredibly human you are and how real everything is and it's just too overwhelming. Also, "Despite my best efforts I am real." hit really hard. It takes courage to be real, to exist at all. In my opinion, anyway. They did a great job portraying all of this.
"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it".. I don't think the public should've really laughed at that part. Like, I personally think it is really poetic and a lot of more things but not funny at all. Js.
+C ATC laughter is sometimes from awkwardness, when you open yourself like that a lot of people aren't going to know the appropriate response. when you are greeted "hello, how are you" you are conditioned to say "fine, thank you" not "not so well, I had problems getting out the front door again".
My love to you, Jamie. If you ever read this know you are not the only human/alien/witch who feels that way (and you have an awesome beautiful way of putting it in words)
holy crap... I'm going through figuring out that I might have bipolar and this resonates a lot with me, down to blasting death grips in my headphones. amazing.
"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it"
that shit got to me
Aine Dargan same
I envy it too
" so many people have said they can read me like a book then left me on a shelf"
Liana Mark yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was about to comment this ah.
oof. what a line...
this and the one about the phone were my favorite lines.
that hit me way too close to home
"sometimes i let my phone die and i envy it." that line hit me really hard
daryl's world deep (. .)
Me too
Really really hard
"I like long walks on the beach, directly to the bottom of the ocean". That line was such a twist I loved it
They did such a great job with this one.
"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it".......me 100%
ARMY
What does this line mean ?
You look at your phone and feel envy?
Was there a pun intended

they/them pronouns /= trans. wb nonbinary gender? :)
technically trans just means someone who identifies as something other than what they were assigned at birth. i readily say im trans and i identify as agender.
Skylar Void thats what I thought!! I was using trans as a blanket term but I didnt want to anything, if I was wrong or being offensive.
i think it depends on the person but i've studied gender in depth when i was discovering myself and i definitely don't find it offensive :)
Perikkuma Grace most non binary people are trans, though...
I love the fact that everyone is using the correct pronouns for them
hi. i'm sorry for asking you this but what do you mean by the pronouns? i keep seeing this on the comment section but i have no clue what is it all about. do you mind explaining it to me? :)

Pronouns are words such as he/she/they/xe. Their shirt says they/them so we refer to them using they/them. My pronouns are she/her and hers!

Why is everyone call him them? What if you need to call a group of people them?.....
"too many claim they can read me like a book but then they put me on a shelf."
same :c
"too many people claimed they could read me like a book then put me on a shelf." CHILLS
I still revisit this poem. Absolutely beautiful. I’m in a much better place but find poetry and art from others help me articulate my feelings.
"Sometimes I let my phone die, and envy it"
Damn....
I love this line.
This one really moved me. They did such a beautiful job writing and performing this. I hope they never stop speaking up, there's so much power in their voice.
I want to hug them so bad
I write fanfics Nøt tragedies omf I love your name
I'm in absolute shock.. a stranger unintentionally spoke to my soul and I lived for it. Thank you, Jamie 😊❤
"Too many people have claimed they can read me like a book and then they went and put me on a shelf"
Damn, that was deep bro.
Right…I felt that one. It was brilliantly simple and painful. Great line!

I've watched this so many times and it hits hard every time
i can't wait to see more content from them, their work seems really good so far
"despite my best efforts i am real"
They forgot to add the number where we fall in love with them through their words...
"too many people have claimed they can read me like a book and then they went and put me on a shelf."
deep as fuck
" I have a PhD in talking to the trees at night" is one of the sweetest and most poetic things I've heard
"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it" hit me so hard
"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it" wow. Chills.
Ikr?? And people laughed :(
crazymusicalgoof7 it's not a funny type laugh. It's a relatable laugh. The kind where if you don't laugh you'll get sad.
"despite my best efforts, i am real.' WHOA.

I love their voice so much, I always find myself coming back to this.
They have the most infectious smile

I AM AN AQUARIUS AND I CONFIRM I DID NOT DISLIKE
I too am an Aquarius, and i did not dislike this
As a Aquarius I can confirm and claim I broke the dislike button .🤗😂 jk: the poem was too astonishing to do if I did i would be scared that the cops would come for me.❤️💞💞
Seriously tho, the number 2 was really unexpected.
I really love their style of performing, it reminds me of Sabrina Benaim, it's Beautiful
true. 😌
yes! Both brilliant poets!
I too love this channel so much. This is one of my faves. So many of these poets have helped me understand my daughter better. She is 15. Thank you.
They are possibly the most powerful speaker I’ve ever heard.

This is probably my favorite poem. It's simple but it's so profound at the same time. I'm in love.
"I like long walks in the beach, directly into the bottom of the ocean " i felt that

A lot of this just really hit home for me. They did such a great job and I feel like I would get along with them if we ever met.
This poem is extremely honest, and amazing. Gives me chills every time. Definitely one of my favorites.

this was amazing they were amazing the power & feeling in their words was amazing their t shirt was amazing everything was amazing
This is one of my favorite poems and I have no idea why. I just love it.
I'm trying to teach my tongue to forget how that tastes too. It's too dangerous for me to be happy, too dangerous for me to be sad.
Oh wow this hit me hard. I'm crying and obsessing over this guy at the same time

+C ATC Yeah that baffled me too. I was like "yall understand he wants to be the phone, correct?"
+C ATC laughter is sometimes from awkwardness, when you open yourself like that a lot of people aren't going to know the appropriate response. when you are greeted "hello, how are you" you are conditioned to say "fine, thank you" not "not so well, I had problems getting out the front door again".
+C ATC I thought the same thing when they started laughing. Like no, you know he's talking about wanting to die, right?

I still come back and watch this all the time. It's really one of my very favorite pieces.
I have never related to a poem more. Jamie, you are beautiful. I hope your head lets you come back to perform more
OMG... had to pause... that hit deep... "too many people say they can read me like a book then left me on the shelf" WOW
I find myself coming back listening to them perform this amazing poem again and again
I’m so incredibly in love with this. Your courage is truly inspiring. thank you for sharing.
They are so adorable okay
(hey, I'm a libra)
I loved this so much omg. They make me want to write again
the “so many people have said they can read me like a book then left me on a bookshelf” part….. my heart
Quite the line right?

Am I the only one who loves the way he speaks...

Tommie Turgeon that’s what you think now but once you start dating them you fall out of love
I connect with this on a persona level. Jamie managed to convey my thoughts and feelings through this beautiful poem that they wrote.
Whoa. I kinda want to give this person a hug and cry with them.
