+Khalilah Baharin their T-shirt says "they/them", which means they want to be called as such and don't identify as cis gender. Their gender identity is non binary- which means they could be agender, gender fluid or neutrois.

Pronouns are words such as he/she/they/xe. Their shirt says they/them so we refer to them using they/them. My pronouns are she/her and hers!

" I have a PhD in talking to the trees at night" is one of the sweetest and most poetic things I've heard

this is my favorite poem in all of the world. I've never heard something I relate so heavily to. there isn't a single word I can't relate to. thank you for this

I have watched this four times. Not all at once, not wanting to spoil it. This person has made me come back to watch this video with their words over and over again. I have yet to find a more addictive poem

This is really amazing. I've listened to it four times now, and I just can't get enough. Its a wonderful thing when someone puts words to your feelings, knowing you're not alone really does help for me, since I always feel like I'm too crazy for this world and its inhabitants.

They have the most infectious smile

"Sometimes I let my phone die and I envy it".. I don't think the public should've really laughed at that part. Like, I personally think it is really poetic and a lot of more things but not funny at all. Js.

I come back to this often , I quote it, I feel it, I remember it and listen to it in my head in class. It’s so important to me and I don’t even know why

They are possibly the most powerful speaker I’ve ever heard.

This poem is extremely honest, and amazing. Gives me chills every time. Definitely one of my favorites.

"too many people claimed they could read me like a book and then put me on a shelf"

I’m so incredibly in love with this. Your courage is truly inspiring. thank you for sharing.

This hit me so hard. This is a beautiful piece, my friend, thank you for writing it.

"I see my phone die and I envy it" Thats a tough statement damn

This is one of my favorite poems and I have no idea why. I just love it.

"sometimes I let my phone die & I envy it" holy shit, this is breathtaking wow

I find myself coming back listening to them perform this amazing poem again and again

I still come back and watch this all the time. It's really one of my very favorite pieces.

This is probably my favorite poem. It's simple but it's so profound at the same time. I'm in love.

How is this not viral I honestly have watched this 100 times and it gets better

They're so cute , and the poem was phenomenal . ❤️

i like long walks on the beach directly into the bottom of the ocean. sometimes i let my phone die and i envy it. despite my best efforts, i am real. too many people have claimed they can read me like a book, and then they went and put me on a shelf. there are so many good lines in this poem. i teared up listening to this.

y'all're freaking out about "sometimes when my phone dies and i envy it" (which, yes, is an amazing line) but "17. despite my best efforts, i am real" is so much deeper

True thing u said about people reading us as books and keeping in shelves. Words and voice got such an impact. Keep on! The last few lines are personal and touched me.

"Sometimes I let my phone die and envy it" And that hit me hard...

I need that shirt.. They did so well with this poem, its just incredible.

They are absolutely fantastic!

amazing, one of my favourite

I love this so much!

They did a wonderful job with this poem.

this was amazing they were amazing the power & feeling in their words was amazing their t shirt was amazing everything was amazing

This brought me to tears. Beautiful.

A lot of this just really hit home for me. They did such a great job and I feel like I would get along with them if we ever met.

I have never related to a poem more. Jamie, you are beautiful. I hope your head lets you come back to perform more

This is so amazing. Thank you.

I love this poem. I need more of Jamie!

absolutely loved this!!!! wowowowooww. lucky I'm home alone beacuse I squealed a little bit at "I like long walks on the beach, directly into the bottom of the ocean." and I also signed for a gym membership after I started medication that was the worse decision of my life. I've watched this four times and I still can't even .Love it love it love it.
