He is my favorite poet & one of the things I love most about his work is being able to watch the same poem through different performances because you always get to hear different intonations, inflections and see what small words get changed. I get something new out of every performance. The first time I saw this piece it was at the height of the pandemic, and I was feeling very very low. So everything he said was very relatable. I even have the same sweatshirt that Rudy was wearing in that video. When I say, -and I know others can relate to this- that his work just has a way of reaching out a hand to you and helping you stay afloat, I mean it… Rudy if you are reading this, please never stop what you’re doing.
Bruh I lost it when he talked about destroying the things that helps him get up off the floor with the crickets analogy. This poem is so raw, made me feel really seen
His the best poet for me. The inspiration i get from your piece of work is really deep that it doesn't allow me to give up but continue... Thank you Rudy @MjPoet Industry
It's a good day when Button Poetry posts Rudy Francisco
More coming! New book! New poems!
This poem is phenomenal. His delivery is just so perfect.

My God, My God he always has this uncanny ability to read my mind. He is truly a God sent to the poetry circuit.
I love all of his performances.
Awesome and deep sight, very passionate speaking. Great job!
I really love this and how he delivers it hopefully one day I can be as good or even close to how good he is
Needed that
My favorite poet
Story of all agonists !
So powerful. As always.
This channel: part of what inspired me do my own similar.
Wow
❤️❤️❤️
Rudy, please why didn't you perform new poems like this one for us when you came to Joburg? 😅
I won’t be another drowning fish
Hampton Bays* Rudy, other than that this is perfection 😭
(Only said bc I lived there and this was wild!)
THANK YOU!
🔥🔥🫰🏿🫰🏿🫰🏿🔥🔥
(still mid. watching had to pause b/c) that into. the analogy. ****.
(um like in a good way)
Great performance. But do we need another self-involved, whiny, depressed Gen-Zer delivering a trite 'inspirational' message?
