This isnt about night terrors. This is about shanes relationship with his grandfather. He appreciated the fact that his grandfather would stand there every night and fight off the monsters that he was afraid of.

Can someone get this man so much more love. This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen all year.

I know this poem is about night terrors but it resonated deeply with me because the descriptions of the monsters are similar to my own regarding my depression and anxiety. Thank you for your words. Bless your granddad and you, Shane.

I fucking Cried Again.. Everytime.. I watch this Video.. Because.. It was Kinda the Same With My Grandfather.. :( it really Hit me Right In the Feels..

How is it that your art can be so emotional, so funny, so true, and so relatable all at once. This and many other stories of yours are truly just beautiful.

I love you Shane Koyczan.

I remember dreading going to bed every night until I was old enough to know there was no boogeyman in my closet, but I never had someone to tell me it was okay, nor did I speak up enough about it because I knew I'd get picked at. I really do just thank you for soothing such horrible memories from years ago, and can't wait to hear more of your talent❤️

I cry every time because this reminds me of my dad who died when I was 10. I'm 15 now and I only got to know him for about 8 years of my life minus some because he was in the air force. And when I was 7 my parents got divorced, and when I was 8 we stopped seeing him because he was an alcoholic. But he only became an alcoholic because of the divorce. I never got to hear his voice or see him. It got so bad I couldn't even remember what he looked like, but I do remember he was there for me every nightmare I had he was there, every cold I caught he was there, But one day he just wasn't. And then a few years passed and then it turned into the fact that he would never be there no mater what. The last words he ever said to me was a month after we couldn't see him, and those words and I quote were "no mater what don't you EVER think im not proud of you because everything you do ill be there to back you up no matter what" and those words still ring in my head and the words I said after that was "don't you ever think I will ever stop letting you be proud of me." And then we never got to speak to each other again.

Caleb, I hope you know that he meant those words from the deepest part of his soul. Beyond his heart, there was a place reserved just for you. It's where he stored all of his most precious memories and feelings for you. It's where his pride in you was stored. He loved you with everything he had. I know because I am a dad. There is nothing in this entire world that can compare to the pride, love, and joy that my son and daughter bring me. What scares me the most is that something may happen to me where I cannot be there to share their proudest moments with them or help them through their toughest. I have also lost a daughter, and knowing that she is there with me in my hard times helps me through them. Knowing that I will see her again someday also helps. I am sorry for your loss. Just remember that he is always there in your best and worst times. He is never judging you because that place he has reserved for you has no room for judgement, only pride, love, and joy.

This is the first time I've gotten to watch this video. I was in a state of tranquility and then... "what the fuck is all of my beef jerky doing under here"

I was hoping for some kind of video for this poem! its my favorite!!

side note. this says "up past his waste" and the correct spelling would be "his waist" as in the body part. I'm sure there's nothing to do now, but I wanted to point it out in case there was

Its a play on words, it is talking about his belly fat.

I am glad he is carrying on making content

"Past his waste" "WASTE" *TRIGGERED*

This goes to all the people who stood by our side and helped us fight the monsters crawling deep inside our heads . I love you mum, thank you.

This is like emotional intelligence 101. I don't think anything else I've seen can summarize so well what it means to be present for someone, to truly care. Thank you, Shane. Seriously, thank you.

3:53 is such gold of a picture, i hope everybody has someone like that in their lives

"What the fuck is all my beef jerky doing under here?" Why is this me as an adult

When I am depressed I come back to this mans poetry. He makes me happiest in my darkest hours. (( he also makes me miss my grandparents more than words can explain. They were the parents I never deserved))

I've spent such a long time wondering what I'd say to you in gratitude for what you have done for me over the years that I have watched you... And The only 2 words that can express this in is thank you. Thank you for banding up the cuts I had, thank you for helping me extinguish the fears and doubts I've had about the question of if it was all worth it... And thank you for continuing to help other. You are truly a guardian angle for all those who need it most.

My favorite is shoulders and crickets have arthritis but they are all amazing

This amazing poet has made me cry for a 2 weeks straght ... And I couldn't be more thankful... Becuse some times you realize that when you try to shut out the heazy emotions , you shut away the best ones too ... And I have never loved the people around me like I have lately thinks to this man poetry

I love all Koyczan's spoken art but this is definitely my favourite

I love you so freaking much Shane. Iost my dad when I was 6 and I'm going to be 15 in a week. I have been bullied all my school life. I am going through depression now and your videos explain exactly what it's like. Thankyou so much xx.

Honestly though, "what the fuck is all of my beef jerky doing under here?" Is the funniest thing I've ever heard a grandparent say.

I didn't know Koyczan decided to pursue a graphic novel production. Good for him. I remember seeing his "To This Day" video in my eight grade class

I've been listening to Shane's poems to a while and I'm very glad he's shared so much about his grandfather, he's obviously been a very important person in his life and I feel touched to get to know so much about this amazing man I never would have known even existed.

I don't have night terrors or anything of the sort but thanks to this poem I remembered something I had lost site of a while ago, my grandpa. For it to make sense I have to explain both of my grandfathers. On my mom's side he committed suicide and on my dads side he died before I was born. Thankfully my grandma on my mom's side got remarried when my mom was still young so I've never been without a grandpa. I have always looked up to him, he is the definition of an asshole but he is still smart and kind when it really matters. Everyone at his job respect him just because of how good at it he is. Recently however I have started to drift apart from him and we don't get along well anymore, but this poem has helped me remember why I looked up to him so much. So I've decided to study hard so that I can become a great man for him to be proud of

OH MY GOD YES. i’ve been trying to find this for weeks. i was obsessed with this poem my freshman year of high school and desperately needed it again for my freshman year of college

I hope you know how you’ve effected people Shane. I heard one of your poems in middle school. I was suicidal, cutting myself on a weekly basis and starving myself. I was a teen addict for 3 years. I’ve been assaulted in several ways. I found comfort in your words throughout all of this and I still do. I’m 21 now, I have a fiancé a job a love and an apartment. I still need your words sometimes, but they’ve already shown results. Thank you so much for helping me help myself survive, your voice still echos when I fight the pain.

I lost my grand dad a few weeks ago to old age. This just lets me remember how wonderfully he treated me and my cousins.

I don't know if anyone will ever understand how much this means to me and how many tears it has brought to my eyes every time I hear it. Thank you.

This is hurting me in a way i cant explain. But im beyond happy to hear his grandpa was there for him to fight the demons.

"Intense love for beef jerky"

This actually gave me chills. I love your work Shane. It is the biggest inspiration for me. When I'm down I listen to your poems and I feel better. Keep it up!

he protecc he atacc but most importantly he kick monster's ass

I always sit for five minutes in silence as I absorb every thing I've just listened to. Think of the emotions shane was feeling as he wrote this story, as he recalls the memories he has. I digest everything and think on it. To me, that truly is what a masterpiece should do.

Why is it that this is so cute and yet I still feel like crying

This piece damn near broke me down to tears. I loved every second of it. Made the writer in me give it a standing ovation.

6:05 "What the fuck is my beef jerky doing under here!?!?!?!" that made me joke on my soda

I cried😭 Shane is my super hero I wish I can meet him and tell him Your inspirational to everybody you always make us cry your poems mean a lot to everybody you melt our hearts when we hear your poems Whenever I get bullied in school I always come to hear you. And it makes me cry

Shane always hits every feel spot in my soul. I've never had night terrors so I can't speak to that, but that's the love I want to have for my kids and grandkids one day. Some actions might seem small, but you never know the impact they'll have down the line. Thanks for another masterful piece, Shane!

*WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL OF MY BEEF JERKY DOING UNDER HERE*

This channel is not like anything i have ever subscribed on youtube. And it is one of my most favorite. I just love your voice Shane. Keep up the godlike work Shane. Love from Czech Republic!

Amazing as always. Haunting. Vivid. Hard to let go. Thank you.

So beautiful Shane. I too laughed at the beef jerky under the bed. What a relief that laughter must have been to a small scared child.

How amazing this appears, just as im saying good bye to my dear pop, i may not have suffered night terrors, but my pop was the light, he was the laughter in my sometimes darkened world. Now he is about to rest for the last time. And i thank him. And i thank u shane for putting into poetic words the courage, effort & joy grandparents give. And how oneday we may carry the light 2 shine on others in need.

So beautiful

God damn it Shane. I always cry after every poem and this one hit harder than any other. Thank you. Thank you for every emotion I thought I'd never feel again and every ray of hope I needed to get through my life. Thank you Shane Koyczan. May the world be a better place for people like us. For those who turned on the light for people who can't.

i swear im not crying my eyes are just sweating from how good this was

My heart 😭💔 I have loved this poem since the live version on KZread

OMG THIS KICKED ME RIGHT IN THE HEART!! THE MESSAGE IN THIS IS HEARTBREAKING but so real for lots of people. Every one just needs that special some one that is always there for you....

I don't know why this got to me so much. I'm actually crying

Beautiful.... simply Beautiful...

Love that story, and the message you snuck into it at the end. You truly have a gift with language, love your recordings the most ... to hear your voice read them is special. Thanks so much!

Its so late here but its so worth it, im so happy this is the last video i watch before i go to bed.

This was fucking beautiful

Those who have disliked this u don't have any respect and understand how powerful his poems have been to people😠😠

I used to love a boy not so long ago and one dark night he texted that he loved Shane Koyczan and i didn't understand which poet he was talking about. I never looked him up. Now, that he's gone and i need someone to turn on a light, Shane Koyczan is here. 💕

It is absolutely beautiful, I think it will really touch a string with everyone. We've all had the monsters that assault us only at night an in the darkest corners of our rooms, my hats off to you Shane. My favourite piece is still troll however.

Shane, thank you for your videos! Thank you for your WORDS!

Oh.. Shane this is such a great story. give us more..

I wish I could have kids.. i've always wanted to protect someone like this, you're grandad seems like such an amazing person he truly loved you

I have never has night terrors, but i have has people come to my rescue plenty... Thx for making something all of us can relate to...

The last line gave me chills.

impactful and amazing as always. Love is not a strong enough word for how I feel about this man's work.

I both hate and love how he can make me both cry and laugh at the same time.

Your words always seem to open up a wound, fill it with ink, and heal it all at the same time, leaving an acceptably memorable brain tattoo

Today i was 42 and a half years old when i was listening to this and soaked in the pool of tears by the end of the poem. Thanks Shane.

This poem makes me laugh and cry at the same time it's my favorite ❤

Needed a reason to smile today 😊

Just. WOW. Thanks Shane!

OMG. Yes. Buying it right now.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

This. Is why I continue to write.

I love this poem so much. Thank you!!!

This never fails to make me cry a little. Every time....

I cried, because I didn't have a grandpa. Shane I am glad you did.

I wish I had someone to be there to turn on a light when I have night terrors. Not everyone had a hero who could do what he does and some of us are still trapped at night.

I didn't think I would be crying by the end of this

This is still just as amazing as the first time I heard it!

Absolutely brilliant! Beautiful art in both the poem and the illustrations

Been a fan for a while. Gonna start supporting your work with dollas more Thank you Shane for everything

I cannot express how beautiful this is...

came back for the second time since like it came out. I still laugh at: "WHAT THE FUCK IS ALL MY BEEF JERKY DOING UNDER HERE."

I could listen to this poem a million times and it will still send that same tingly feeling throughout my body.

This will always be beautiful and one of the greatest poems ever

Oh my god this is one of my favourite poems I can't believe you made it a comic book !!

Shane I was not planning on crying tonight... but thank you it was needed.

I never had a parent or an adult who would do that for me while growing up, but I love this!!! I always watching these for inspiration to write my own poems.

I know your belief with God is hazy my brother, but I honestly believe your granddad is watching down on you & grandma today knowing you're thinking of him & he's making your heaven up there. With sardines & raisins hidden in the cupboard, love you Shane. My biggest inspiration with my poetry, one love.

This was amazing. Ii love how the artwork brings your grandfather to a new light. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Wow. Just wow.

Shane never ceases to AMAZE me

This video reminds me of my aunt and every time I watch this videos it hits my right in my heart because I to am a frade of what lurks in the dark.thinking that if I dare to open my eyes, it'll be the start of a new hell. where nightmares do not rest, no one is at ease and we can never be pleased because we believe that these monsters are coming grab at us and pull this underneath our beds and then to our closets, to never resurface as we write the names of loved ones and friends everybody we wish were here in our arms as we stare at the monster in our closets. waiting for someone to set off the alarms screaming, "I will save you from this treacherous world, I will take you into my arms and carry you." As will climb up this mountain and reach a new life. and we will not strife instead will resolve are conflict through words. And think that we can be like birds, the wind flowing through the feathers of our wings and not giving a care about the monsters that lurk beneath all use from all the way up there, we have each other and we just won't care. That's how I feel

i cry every time I hear this song, man, this is just so beautiful, its so amazing! you're the coolest artist I know

I'mma cry bruh

I love this poem so much and this visual novel. I love all your poems. You inspire me to write and make a difference. Thank you.

Oh damn I can't wait until Shane's dis track!
