Man if this doesnt strike some kind of emotion in you then you cant be human.. Just seeing him cry as he perform this defines his humility and how emotionally intact he is with his writing
WOW!!! A man who is not afraid to bear his own insecurities. That was deep and inspirational!!! I loved being there just as much as I enjoyed hearing it again!
THAT was probably one of the most emotional poems I've ever heard. Incredible. He really wrote that from deep within. I'm amazed. I wish more men performed more raw deep poems like this. I have profound respect for any man that's not afraid of his emotions. BRAVO.
Thank you for writing this poem. I cried while watching this poem because this is my story and I can relate. I hope to be a confident as you one day. AGAIN THANK YOU.
I didn't think it was possible to identify with someone's story THAT much. This is loosely based on my life, I swear. The idea of beauty is something that I still wrestle with as a freshman in college. Thanks for being so transparent Carvens, you don't know what you did for me here.
good god that man is blessed with talent! If he only knew how his story, this poem is effecting peoples lives..wow..cant help but to cry when i heard this poem..amazing
Wow! That man is Amazing! He has this way of truly taking you to another place where the world around you just stops and you live in the poem. Phenomenal!
I agree dude had me in tears relating so hard to his personal revelations n he owns it though he can say he loves himself there is ppl still who can't ...like myself so this is my poem
Carvens, I don't know you from adam or eve, but i swear THIS, THIS IS "OUR" story. i just wish i could have the same ending, thank you my brother. the truth be beautiful. Awoman. this is truely universal.
Until just now...I thought my journey to loving myself was complete.... I will not stop until I stand with you in victory....You are beautiful Carvins!!!! Thank you for sharing!
"in the 5th grade I wrote my first suicide note, and it was the first time I thought anyone loved my writing." :'/ </3 you just described my childhood Sir.
I'm in tears, this was the beautifulest I've ever heard in my life.
