Oh goodness this wrenched my heart even more so than "B". I quite adore you!

[toffeesquares]

Haha I was going to like it until I saw the last bit! You do great work, man -- neither pity nor resignation suit you. Keep performing :)

[halfelfgirl]

[redxraccoon]

"I resign myself to a life as a... as a walrus."

Mediocrity? You don't have a mediocre cell in your entire body, I can tell that by watching just two of your videos. You're killing me, mate - that poem is everything I wish my poems were!

[ViralSin]

Good sir, where do you get off? Where do you get off wallowing in what you call mediocrity? Surely, you missed me on the tip of your sword when you slayed me.

[1Brihama]

Is this published? I would like to perform it in Speech and Debate!

[BreadAndBullfights]

@1Brihama It's not published but you're welcome to perform it wherever! When you do try to video it and upload to youtube so we can see.

[1Brihama]

@BreadAndBullfights Thanks! But it has to be published to perform it in Debate :/ I appreciate it though! I've been looking for a poem like this for quite a while! I'll be sure to look into some of your other poems :)

[MyLastingImpression]

@1Brihama I was planning on doing it for Speech and Debate too.... clearly I'm not as original as I thought I was... what state are you competing in because I would hate to spend the time working on this only to find out someone else has the exact same piece.... (But this is a great poem! I definately want to do it!)

[1Brihama]

@MyLastingImpression Well, before you start memorizing or practicing, make sure its allowed in your state! I'm in Wyoming, and I guess video sources count as publications, so I can perform it here, but When I got to larger meets, I have to perform a different poem. MAKE SURE ITS ALLOWED! Its a FANTASTIC poem, and I will be doing it at Wyoming meets, but I'm not sure what the rules are where you live. So feel free to perform it :) just make sure you look at your state Rules.

[MyLastingImpression]

@1Brihama It is allowed in my state so I'm going for it :) Good luck this year! And a big thank you to BreadAndBullfights for writing and sharing such a great poem with us!

[clownfish000]

I love the end bit :)

[TubaGirl01]

This is fantastic, are you published?

[apqcelloman]

nice! lol are you a fan of doctor who?

[gummiebaerrs]

You're cute. And your poetry made you cuter(; haha

[LittleRED707]

This was just beautiful the metaphor with the rose and the thorns and everything was truly amazing.

[MarisaRocksOut]

The last bit, the part where you ad lib'd about your "pool of mediocrity", was AMAZING! Truly.

[Jennessis]

Your voice sounds a lot like Robert Sheehan's from Misfits.

[jhnhouseholder]

"a pool of my own mediocrity". nice--a line that disproves itself.

[missmarimack]

You are beautiful and you happy my heart.

[Inuyashaloveskagome1]

This is really really good
