    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!

    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 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.
