"Grad the phone! Grab the knife! Grab your VOICE! This is ARMAGEDDON." - YASS! This line right here is what gives me life!
"when your best friends father asks you to stay over say no." Wish someone told me this when I was 13.
If I had enough courage I would make a video about it. But i dont. I just hope that who ever reads my comment will tell every other girl they know.

I'm so sorry :(
POWERFUL! RIP Tonya. You were superb!
Thank you Yolanda!
I aspire to have the ability to speak with such incredible power liker her. So inspiring.
I can't count how many times I've watched this
I think the part at 3:00 that's unclear is: "this is taking back what the devil has stolen."
It's been weeks and I keep coming back to this poem- so resonating.
And now I'm crying at work, have goosebumps, and just want to give this Tonya a big old hug & say "I feel you"
Steady crying. Just no if your reading this right now you've touched my life thank you for this piece
Gave me the fucking chills!
Despite the quality of the sounds in the room, it is still a really powerful and well-written piece. I am glad I found this.
"Grab the phone! Grab the knife! Grab your voice! This is harmaguedon"....amazing!
This girl is amazing. I wish I knew people like her in real life.
YES!!!!!! She has so much power and force behind her words. So awesome.
Tonya speaks truth unwrapped. Thank you.
Jfc this makes me cry every time. Rest In Peace Angel.
"You are Moses, he is the miracle, and this is the Red Sea!" Very powerful imagery, love it!
i had to watch it twice and felt the power both times....beyond talented
I love Tonya Ingram so much. She writes so beautifully, and more importantly, she has such a powerful voice.

Thank you for being this brave.
This poem gave me goosebumps. I played it three times and cried every time. This is so....moving.
I really love Jeanann's version. I didn't think I could, but I think I love this one even more. Just WOW. She is so powerful.

Should I snap, clap, or raise my fist?
Not even gonna deny the tears on my cheeks. That was amazing.

I'm just a random British kid but these videos have inspired me so much. Thank you 3
Profound words brought tears to my eyes.
gave me chills
This girl is tooooooooo amazing!
gave me chills
You are so amazing! Your gift is beautiful!
The line that terrifies me the most is when your best friends father invites you over say no like through all the hardships she's endured there is one thing she doesn't elaborate on and it has the most meaning.
Shivers and shakes.
So powerful.
One of the most legendary spoken acts I've watched and one of my favorites to ever have been posted and
The shivers I have right now, that was amazing
If one were to question just 'what is poetry for", this would be a great answer... it is difficult to understand all the lines in this audio at times

I can't stop watching this video. Beautiful!
you have no idea how hard this hit me..
Rest In Peace beautiful Tonya❤
Thank you! =(
I feel as if she was giving advice to her younger self. lie she has gone through these experiences and wishes that she had handled them differently
Cassandra souza that's what she's doing.
That is kind of the whole point of the poem
Chills. Such a good poem. Sad I didn’t find it sooner.
ooo I felt this one. it's powerful!

"when your best friend's father invites you over...say no" keeps coming up...WORD. makes you think...love the poem, love the hair...SNAP*********************************S Out and BOOM!
I wonder what Jeanann thinks of this. I loved it. I didn't think anyone could pull off anything like what Jeanann writes, but she nailed it with the performance and words. All the emotions just pouring out of her. So gorgeous.
