What We Have, Lamont Carey

[kalon30]

I've been wondering since last year who had that poem after opposites attract, i found you and you're GREAT

[LamontCarey1]

[cayterr]

[LamontCarey1]

@cayterr wow. Thank youuuuuuu.

[cayterr]

[Jamieson017]

I have to say you are very inspirational. I am 16 years old and still in high school. I really feel that young men should actually sit down and listen to you. As a young lady I feel like it's an honer to hear this. Everyone needs someone they can look up to while they arer coming up. Not every child/teen has a person to help them stay motivated. Your that person for those who don't. Keep up the good work!

[LamontCarey1]

@Jamieson017 I have no idea how to respond to such heartfelt words. I am glad that you believe I fill such a powerful role. Thanks. You seem like an amazing young woman that will do brilliant things in life!

oliveirinha20 thank u soooo much

[ladymuziklover]

Mr. Carey, that is a beautiful poem, indeed! So many ppl today focus on looks instead of love when love is what matters btw a man and woman. I esp love the part when u said that u have ur woman come beside u where she belongs...ahh that was the icing on the cake..thank u so much :-)

[LamontCarey1]

ladymuziklover thank you again. A lot of times people chase what they believe others will like instead of what really makes them feel good.

[ladymuziklover]

Indeed! Again, you're welcome.

[LamontCarey1]

Write. Write it! Write it now!!

[Annice2007]

this was beautiful.

and i can relate to it because i believe that all thugs need is a little love. and i'm just that girl to give it to 'em. LOL!!! but lamont for real, this poem was beautiful.

[LamontCarey1]

LOL...thank u. i feel safer knowing you are the love provider for the thugs...LOL

[LamontCarey1]

LOL

[LamontCarey1]

it was an accident when i became a spokenword artist. My defining moment would have to be when i made up the piece that night and the crowd enjoyed it, i knew i had something special

[wordnerd29]

Cool. I like your poems, they are a collection of words cleverly strewn together to evoke an emotional and intellectual response. So I am glad that you chose (or was chosen) to put those words out into the world for the rest of us to see, hear, and feel.

[wordnerd29]

meant strung not strewn.

[LamontCarey1]

wow. thank you. so much pressure u just applied...LOL

[wordnerd29]

Not pressure. Just appreciating the gift that you are sharing with the rest of us.

:-)

[LamontCarey1]

Thanks

[wordnerd29]

I have just one question?

What was your defining moment when you realized that you had (or needed) to do this and not some other career? Or did you just always know?

Just curious, I just always like to know what leads people to certain paths.

[wordnerd29]

Everytime I hear this poem I get all teary eyed.

Great poem-real depth and feelings.

Keep rocking the spoken word-that's what it's about-the power to touch people with words.

[LamontCarey1]

thank u

[wordnerd29]

When are you coming to St. Louis?

[LamontCarey1]

as soon as the opportunity brings me there. I have yet to come that route

[LamontCarey1]

thank u. i shall do my best

[wordnerd29]

Well if the opportunity brings you to St. Louis, I will most definitely be there to see you.

Much love and prayers for your future success.

:-)

[LamontCarey1]

sounds great
