This is my new passive aggressive prayer lol
Alli Black passive... Gurl. Make this active.
hahahaha
😂😂 people screamed in horror when she said "one ply toilet paper " bit I loved loved loved
i love how everyone was so hurt when she said "i wish him one ply toilet paper"
CynicalValleys duh. That's literally terrible 😂
Came to say this specifically!(
As.
Are you saying they were....butt hurt?
Skinless boiled chicken and unflavored oatmeal? Woman, you are just mean. XD
Umi Ebon this is what white people eat daily
Amina Alliyah I would be offended, but I’m only half white plus I’ve never been fed that in my life and I know it’s not true.
My spirit animal!
Polo shirts.
Tucked in.
I enjoyed the entire poem so much, but I cannot be the only one who just fell in love with the way she said "like mine" at the end.
It was kind of revenge hot and very empowering
This is a very old comment but yeah the way that she ended it off like that really sealed the deal as to how much I loved the poem.
This is perfect. A person I used to know was so vanilla and every time I was going to do something "not normal" he'd always have something to say. This picked me right up
They deserve one ply toilet paper and a week of Wednesdays 😤
You could feel the audience cringe at
"one ply toilet paper"
"Endless conversation that never quite breaks the precipice of small talk"
One of the Best Curses Ever.
hahaha
"I wish him indiana"
I won't even wish that on my worst enemy 😂😂 I live in Indiana and it is the worst.
Danielle Jewel I live in Indiana too ! close to Yorktown
I live in a small town called walkerton
Danielle Radcliff
DUDE SAME INDIANA IS JUST A LAND OF CORN
Same same! Southern Indiana is the worst tho.
same
My favorite line: "polo shirts, tucked in"
I love Rachael, I relate with her so much. I've always been... too energetic, too much pink, too chatty, too weird, too much black, too skinny, too quiet, too tired, too sad, too troubled, too many bad choices, too drunk, too fat, too happy, too hyper, too chatty........ too much. I've done all and seen all I was led to think I should, and got kicked every step. You will never catch me in a polo shirt... tucked in. More likely a skull and flower printed, lace trimmed Hot Topic dress and 7 inch platform boots... and I never wear hair bands for function, I prefer ones that make me look like there are flowers in my hair. I love Rachel and her attitude because I'm right there, knowing I am weird and too much and loooooving it! And to the ex boyfriends who called me psycho bitch... you're just not enough.
with polo shirts tucked in.....that was SO GOOD
I was literally just thinking of this poem earlier today! She killed it.
I was literally just thinking "I bet Ash got to see this in person" lol
+Rose G Heck yeah I did! I was 2nd row for the show case.
She never disappoints.
tbh
Ugh this poem was just what I needed to hear
This is borderline genius. I really enjoyed it.
No, it's borderline personality disorder.
i wish she'd bring out an audiobook of her work. i love her voice!
I have always loved this poem. It brought me peace after being broken up with after 8 years. I wish this same for him 🤣 lmao
This is my favorite poem in the entire world
she has stolen my heart
This poem puts everything I couldn’t verbalise into words🙌
that’s what it’s all about!!!
1:23 "One-ply toilet paper" *collective gasps from audience*
I love how the 1 ply toilet paper elicited the strongest response of audible shock 😂😂
1 ply toilet paper! 😂😂 now that's mean! Great poem!
She's already one of my favorite poets.
This gives me strength on days I need it
I can talk about how brilliant and relevant and relatable this poem is for hours but all I’m gonna ask is WHERE IS THIS GORGEOUS DIVINE NECKLACE FROM?????
Damn it, I like Mumford and Sons
An_ Idiot me too ... and I like turkey bacon and I work at great clips.
I just broke up with a vanilla plain Jane sexist dude so I felt this so heavy, he was to immature to handle my intense and wild outspoken personality
i love her voice
Oh hell, I love Rachel Wiley so damn much. This poem kicked ass.
“I wish him indiana” I’m from indiana and I honestly can agree that this is the worst thing you can wish upon someone
Her delivery just perfects this
Her voice is so soothing
Basically, "I hope you have a boring life!" My weave got snatched with this poem.
I got sooooo many chills listening to this!!! Thank you for you
She just makes me feel better. Definitely appreciate the perspective
I wonder if this was also a pregnancy announcement... From the last line she gave. Food for thought.
+Corey Pettit Interesting perspective. I interpreted it that she wished him to have a daughter who was "too intense" like her.
I heard it as wishing him a daughter resembling her, which would cause him to constantly face the regret of not being with her and instead choosing the mundane life. Awesome poem!
I heard it as wishing him a daughter resembling her, which would cause him to constantly face the regret of not being with her and instead choosing the mundane life. Awesome poem!
See I was thinking of it as a daughter she had with him that he didn't want
I watch this from time to time whenever I need a mood boost😊
This is my second favorite poem from Rachel Wiley. If I ever met her in person, I'd babble like an idiot, and possibly faint.
I adore this. Can I quote the whole thing right back, this is flawless!
Ugh I LOVE THIS so so much gave me chills
This is so funny and honest!
She's so amazing!!!
Yes! This is my new hero!
Love love love this poem love it so much
I LOVE HER! I just discovered her work and I must say it's painful to watch this just after watching the '10 honest thoughts on being loved by a skinny boy' poem. It may not even be related but it's got that thorny thing to it
Rachel SLAAAYYEEDD! More, please!
this is so fierce
she is the realest poet i've seen ever omg
this was so awesome, i want to send this to all of my ex-boyfriends now
Damn. No matter how you feel about this one, whether it makes you feel vindicated or uncomfortable, this was great to listen to. I’m really enjoying Rachel Wiley & this entire channel.
took me TOO LONG to discover this gold wow Rachel Wiley I love you
I love Rachel Wiley!
POLO SHIRTS. TUCKED IN.
AND THE MUSICAL STYLINGS OF MUMFORD AND SONS.
SO GLAD this one got put up. Brilliant! XD
THAT LAST LINE HIT ME YO
Her voice is powerful
wait i like unflavored oatmeal....seriously, brilliant amassing of details
Great Clips hair cuts...... THOSE ARE THE WORST THEY ALWAYS CUT TOO MUCH OFF
Internet Obsessed THEY CUT MY SISTERS HAIR SO UNEVEN. It was hilarious.
This is my top favorite poem ❤ LOVE IT
I CAN'T EVEN
this was absolutely amazing!
That end - burn!
I love this so much, I need to watch it again every now and then. Today I saw something that reminded me of this poem but I didn't remember the title to search for it, so I tried "button poetry tucked in". It worked :)
THE SHADE OF IT ALL!!!
MUMFORD & SONS ARE GREAT. The rest of this poem is absolutely perfect.
This is amazing!!!!
As someone who’s from Indiana I appreciate all of this
loved this
I've listened to this over a million times, it's my absolute favorite. I have never related to something more! Lol
Babydoll, what did he do to you? Crustless sandwiches so he never knows the bread felt the warmth of the oven. Just damn
this is so savage holy shit 😂
That necklace!! (also that poem!!)
HELL YES, QUEEN!
Fantastic.
I. Love. This.
That last part 👏
MUMFORD AND SONS IS GREAT OKAY.
+Meher Dev LOL
I still enjoy this as much as I did years ago, but nowadays I would give so much to have a life of Wednesday mornings filled with beige and oatmeal and polo shirts. I still find the poem beautiful, but it hits different now when color in my life is less often a party and more often a warning sign. No shade to people who enjoy excitement, but for me personally I would actually consider it an accomplishment to be able to settle right now.
Thank you for your honesty
KILLIN ITTTT
* FINISH HIM * sounds play in the background
Dian Muñoz yes!!!!!
This woman is a boss!
Daaaannnnggggg Such a good poem
*Snaps Fingers* Absolutely 🥰 her!!!
my new queen
I'm in love with this woman. ❤️
... She's a glorious witch, casting a well deserved spell. ❤️
Gah! Yes! Love this
She is awesome sauce! Rock on with your bad self, lady!!
I've watched this way more times than must be healthy XD
Genius!
God, this is fantastic! I love this ridiculous amounts and shall immediately search for more of your wonderful words. Kudos to you c:
Hey I just saw you in NotjustBlonde's comment section as well!
Amber Geddes
I'm going to become braddoesminecraft and appear in every comment section you ever read
+Fee Russell there's so many people like that, honestly we should start a club 😂
I understand the “polo shirts tucked in” line because that’s my school uniform. Just to paint a full picture for you, I live in Florida,my school is set up like a college campus so I have to walk out of one building to get to another class. Some of them are all the way on the other side of the campus! I have to wear polo shirt tucked in...IN THE WORST CONDITIONS POSSIBLE!
I love this women
This was so clever! Idk what she has against polo shirts, but I guess in that context they're not really too wanted...
This woman is my new official favourite
I do love Mumford & Sons
2:03 that transition
