I used to AND still do go to the movies by myself ALLLLLLLLLL THE TIME! I just went to see Superman by myself two days ago.
Can I come along now?
This may be one of the most relatable poems for a majority of ppl in this world. It takes someone who is truly mature (and still single) to understand that this poem is for those without another but they have themselves. AMAZING!
dark but funny, can relate myself till the last word .
You can get a written copy in a book called Def Poetry Jam on Broadway and much more. OR you can google dating Myself Poetri and I am sure I saw a written copy of it online somewhere.
I always loved your work especially your piece on "money".
Thank you
Poetri is honestly one of the reasons i fell in love with poetry ..real poetry deep poetry ..the type tht has the power to make yu laugh til it hurts or bring a tear to your eye..the stuff tht makes yu think the type tht makes yu wonder...i love poetry
Whenever a girl does me wrong, I come back to this video and think how better I'm off without them...
100% truth
This is so cute. "I don't know why i didn't of this before..."
lol
Remembered this poem today after about a year since the last time I listened to it. Looked it up again and damn, I still love it so much.
Greetings from my apartment in Hollywood and thank you so much for listening to my poem.
I watch Poetri and Taylor Mali as much as I can. Basically every day.
Nice work, bro. Keep it up and stay strong. Peace
He's such a teddy bear lol!! I love it
"i mean, i already talk to myself. so i know we're gonna have great conversations." rofl.
Always GREAT Poetri!! I miss you and the Rest at Da Lounge!!! Much LOve LG
Hahahaha best lines ever. "They say I should date somebody more like me, than, than me!!!!! It's not like I'm dating my cousin or something!! I looked it up!!!" Lmao.
2019..... Anyone??
Anyone right???
2020
I can't stop watching. Well-delivered and very funny, and I really love how straightforward and basic the message is. Amazing. Thank you!
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Definitely right now in life. Got to learn to love and appreciate yourself first before you can fully someone else.
You know that's right!
a thousand likes! love your fusion of funny, realness, depth, and insight. the one about monsters in the stomach--classic!
One of my FAVES, EVER! Used to use this poem when I produced a poetry contest at a library. the teens LOVED it so much! :) He is ADORABLE!
Thank you so very much for putting a smile on my face. Bless you & your talents!!!
You are more than too kind. Thank you soooo much for putting a smile on my face on this day. i surely needed.
I spend way too much time watching different artists from Def Jam, but you're one of the best here man, keep it up.
one of the first pieces i saw that inspired me to start writing...
Thank you Poetri for posting this. I have been looking for this poem for a long time here on youtube and couldn't find it. Now its finally here and I can watch it over and over again. This is my favorite one by you. I just love your stuff, keep up the good work.
Good stuff here, "I plan to be with myself to the very end, or until someone better comes along" The best part
oh my goodness this is highlarious!!! I love it to the extreme dude no lie keep it up sir! definitely one of my favorites
funny and sooo true!!!! That was perfect!! Love it!
Oh god, this is sheer brilliance! Haha!
That last line is the best! Good shit.
Had to come back here after 13 years of seeing it.. class
THank you!!!
GENIUS! I LOVE THIS
I got a girlfriend and my self-confidence still went up just watching this shit. Would not have even gotten her if I didn't have this guy's raw philosophy of knowing how to say "fuck opinions" throw yourself all the damn bones once in a while. Self-respect guys, breathe it til you die.
In Poetry class we have to recite one of our favorite poems- guess what I'm doing :D !
I love this poem it makes my day lol
Wow, how fantastic! And from the mitten, no less. Represent :)
Awesome poem and very true. All the single people that are tired of going crazy trying to impress or make someone like you or even just looking for someone and not having any luck, well to hell with all those stuck up snobby people I'd rather date myself!!
There are many dope poets out there. So, I am sure no one is thinking that. lol. But, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that kind and warm compliment.
TOO TRUE. loved it!
Love this poem...I'm learning to love myself too.
MY FAVE POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I use to recite this to my friends. :) Its so true and people hate to admit it, every1 is affriad of rejection, but at the same time, "who is more like me than... ME!... I already talk to myself..."
