This is one of those rare poems that makes your heart ache and your pulse go quicker
I've met her several times, and worked on poetry with her. And talked about this piece. She doesn't have Tourette's syndrome, it's just a very well done persona piece.
I looked everywhere to find this poem again. Found it years ago and it's still 🔥🔥🔥
this poem touched me in a very special place. this made my heartache, i feel for her and anybody with the condition. once people learn to accept the fact that they cannot control the ticks, they wil learn that they are really beautiful people on the inside.
Lord have mercy....what words are there? An absolutely stunning piece that jerks tears to the eyes. Amen to the courage it takes to stand on that stage and bare your soul. God bless
i wish that poetry like this was shown in schools and to raise awareness it would have a much better effect than stupid posters and things around school saying like bullying is bad and its not big to make others feel small if someone could see it from the actual persons perspective it would be 10291203820 times better
i have tourette's as well. i don't have copralalia, but i do feel almost everything she says. not sure if she'll actually read this, but id like to say: thank you so much. you have touched me with this amazing poetry. it is so reassuring to know that there is another person who understands you, especially with something that can be so isolating.
much love to you and your demon. but especially to you.
This is just beautiful. And as for the ppl who say this is boring or stupid, you will never know what it's like to have to go through life with such a sad condition. She is gifted.
no words could come out speechless....my jaw was on the floor FLAWLESS
This poem just gave me life
Now I'm not the kind of person that cries while watching wedding videos and stuff, but at the moment when she started to curse but stopped and held it in, finally able to overcome it for a short moment, I cried.
I am speechless. I am crying. I just...
This brought me to tears.
I keep coming back to listen
brought me to tears ...
I almost started crying from this.
This is the firstt poem I cried on durring the finals. Being their in real life was an incredible experience
LOVE.
Beautiful piece. Not many can do this topic justice. Creative masterpiece ♡
Powerful. Just powerful
This Gives Me Chills Everytime
Amazing!!!!!!
Chills. That's all I can say. CHILLS!
She's awesome
This left me absolutely speechless!
beautiful art
amazing
Wow!!!! She did that. ART BABE!!!! LOL. @ :28 somebody said "YOU BETTER DRAG BITCH". LOL. YASSSS!!!
watched this like 50 time
No, she's taking on a persona, a role. It's like acting. The poem is written from a point of view of a person with tourettes, and so she's playing the role. She's not making fun of them, she's representing them.
Amazing!
yes it is
made me cry yo...
I will pray for her :((
Damn! Wow that really gave me chills this was really powerful to me but I like
art!
yes
yes ma'am!!
WOW
Tourette Syndrome runs in my family; my father, sister, and I have it and I can understand her pain, embarrassment, and single wish for it to go away. She actually mentions coprolalia tourettes, which tells me she knows what she's talking about, so as for the person who said she doesn't have it, you don't know what you're talking about and you don't understand what it's like to have Tourette Syndrome.
niceee
that SHIT was raw as FUCK my NIGGA!..... seriously. this poem touched me. i have a dear friend with the condition, and we just watched this together. this we GREAT!
so fucking powerful
woah.....
That was so sad :(
Her name is Charmira Nelson
Yes I realize that, what does it have to do with anything? She appears to be struggling to control herself throughout the poem, and for a moment she holds back mid-curse and stops herself from blurting it out...
so maybe we should be like the walls who encave these plp in and be quiet was the ending of the poem
May i ask what her name is. I would love to see more of her work
what is this girl's name? im trying to find more of her poetry
I admit I dont quite get it...is it about turrets?
she spat everywhere
Does anyone know her name?
Right?
this poem was genius, if you really watched this and think she totally disrespected people with tourettes, then you COMPLETELY MISSED the point of this poem; it's dark, it's moody, it's brutally honest.
She doesnt have tourettes, Im pretty sure Ive seen her elsewhere and saw no symptoms of it.
Lol she goes to my school
A R T
you guys dont get it she is talking about the demons in everyone not actually talking about her having or not having tourettes so dont judge cause u cant make something as good as her
Uhh overcome what? The curses are probably a part of the poem you realize this right?
where has this word's education gone when cannot decipher between actual events, poetry and act. She is clearly in control of her words throughout this poem but she merked this so bad u cant tell. Comphrension for the ones who didn't get it..this is just a poem however, she is using a disease explaining the emotional toll and saying we as a society ban these plp for having a disease they cannot control leaving them isolated.The irony is we have control over the things we say not vice versa
O_O
....
Like...I can't even say anything....Jesus.
You should listen more closely, she actually says what it is in the poem haha.
3:20
It's called Tourettes
She was spitting 😂😂 cdfuu but this was a really great poem
that's good, I wonder if she has tourettes or its part of the poem, damn
so she doesn't have tourettes? that's kind of fucked up that she's pretending to if she doesn't have it.
spit
boring. That's all I can say. BORING!
