"The poet in me shoulda told 'em she's doing just fine, but I hadn't memorized all the lines yet... My best friend is not doing fine, and I can't fix it." Strikes far too close to home.

I am speechless" a thumbs up. Continued watching this and gave it a thumbs up. Continued watching this and added it to my favorites. Continued watching this and snapped in my head.

My friend sent this to me, and I began listening to it and discovered that this sounds so much like me. I really needed this right now, because I was trying to make a monologue for my theater class and I really wish I could use this, because it's so perfectly me and my friend probably won't understand how she helped me by sending me this link.

Oh my god. My internet was being slow and I was getting frustrated, so I read other comments to pass the time. Then I got more frustrated coz they made me want to watch it so much more. Well, I just finished watching it. And it was most certainly worth the wait. Thank you, Chad Anderson. Your words are so magnificently beautiful. And I have also recently learnt that the only kind of poetry I can write is personal stuff - the truth. The lies just aren't poetry to me anymore.
