  • I'm in tears, this was the beautifulest I've ever heard in my life.

  • This poem is my story...word for word..sound for sound..heart for heart.

  • I finally found it! I've been looking for this piece since being at the show that night. Wow. Still gives me chills.

  • I didn't watch him and STILL cried.

  • I love him, he's my black teddy bear that brings out the emotion in my psychpathic heart <3

  • The ONLY thing I dislike about this poem os the fact that I cry EVERY TIME I HEAR IT.

  • It takes a real man 2 pour out his insercuties in front of an audience, he def left his heart on Tht stage & yes yu are a beautiful black man

  • Powerful. I cried last night from the audience when he performed this.

  • I hope I'm where's he's at one day, this poem hits me so hard.

  • 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

  • I've never cried while listening to a poem... I'm inspired.

  • 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.

  • @drtash21 and I'm male.

  • This is such a touching piece...

  • 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.

  • I love you, Carvens. And you are beautyfull. Thank you for you. <3

  • 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

  • Im watching is again because I love it again.

  • 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
