[DoubleFogger]

Deep and funny, awesome.

[FleetingVoid]

I watched this two years ago in my English 11A class. I couldn't stop laughing. 

[The904scooby]

o. . k. . .. weirdo . . .

[Brown3EyesChild]

A job well done ! :)

[austinfels]

[iAndrea300]

My friend just broke up with her ex so I told her to date herself. She said I love myself. I said I know, but if you date yourself everyone will want you because you're not single. LMFO! I love this poem. So to FB it goes. <3

[babephaty1000]

i agree but umm there is definately a point where urself is too much to handle nd u just want the love nd affection from another

[oodlepoodleful]

i am my own best friend.. there are so many people out there who need to learn to enjoy their own company; if you can't do that how do you expect someone else to enjoy you

[MrJoseFuego]

This is wonderful. Poetri this is what I have been looking for

[gameshowluvr86]

Epic... WIN!!!

[mzlaydeegirl]

22 people can't get a date even with themselves LOL

[mzlaydeegirl]

@mzlaydeegirl sorry it posted twice and im only being silly

[mzlaydeegirl]

22 people can't get a date even with themselves LOL

[RAVENWILDCHILD]

This poem so far is my fave! I love your comic views on life. The obvious comments people don't say but we all think. you are what my mom says I am. A straight shooter. shootin' from the hip. keep it up! oh yeah and love the downy commercial! lol

[prodhart20]

my new dating strategy tell everyone im dating someone and the ladies will come in flocks

[justinianocharmaigne]

So inspiring.

[superdunce77]

Haha as funny as this is it has a great meaning.

[heartandsoul1455]

22 people try to impress to hard...

[BigBis1337]

A shining example of what i want to become. Thank you for being so awesome.

[Jennifer123001]

ferrr-realz ugly people with pretty people

[507papa]

Poetri, you definitely bring out a comedic twist to poetry. I myself am a poet too, but I have a long ways to go to get to be as good as you.

[Poetri]

@507papa Ahhh, thank you very much. But, I might add...that I am pretty positive that you are just as good. There is no good or bad when you are writing from your heart. Check out my new full album when you get a chance. Just google "FOR HER" Poetri's new CD!

[507papa]

@Poetri Well, thanks!!! however, I'm more of a writer than a spoken word artist...I'm always left in shock and awe when I hear them (also you) their flow and delivery is well...flawless and the execution/delivery is priceless. I am too nervous to stand in front of a crowd of 20, let alone the1000+ that you're used to. Nevertheless, I am practicing daily and it's turning out ok :) whenever you have time, check out my video here...flowetically soft spoken.

[507papa]

@Poetri Are You singing or is it spoken word?

[507papa]

@Poetri I forgot to add both shihan and gemineye are also awesome...it'll be hecka cool if you three could perform together.

[1985trob]

@507 papa I agree with Poetri. Theres no such thing as good or bad poetry.

[berdew1]

Original... I love it. :)

[flemasable]

duzo bym dala zeby byc na takim czyms kiedys

[imagetang142]

epic-ness put into words

[Psynyde]

@imagetang142 You are incredibly retarded; please learn how to use the English language properly.

[imagetang142]

@Psynyde please refrain from using the word retarded; you might insult the wrong person... and how would you suggest how other people use the English language? Are you "qualified" ?

[Psynyde]

@imagetang142 No thank you, I'm quite fine using whatever words I deem necessary. Regardless of who it happens to offend. As to your second point, I am qualified to make such a suggestion based upon the fact that I use my words correctly. Your original comment is redundant and incorrect. It is as if your grasp of the English language was 'retarded' at some point in your educational history. Understand that "epic-ness" is not a word, and epic's by their very nature are "in words".

[imagetang142]

@Psynyde interesting, i for one have not realized that comments on You-tube usually refers to the video in question. why must you criticize other members of the You-tube community if that member in question has never heard or seen someone like you in the first place. oh and by the way i congratulate you for using the word retarded; what if i know someone who really is mentally retarded? has that ever come to mind?

[biyankasuzan]

Are you tired here we go Asian women oneman4u.info

[ciphagreen]

Awesome poem and very true. All the single people that are tired of going crazy trying to impress or make someone like you or even just looking for someone and not having any luck, well to hell with all those stuck up snobby people I'd rather date myself!!

[HollisterManny]

exactly how i feel

[classiestncali]

This is my stuff. I love it to def. One of my favorites on here. Clean and real. Don't get no better, better it don't get no more.

[Whisspaaa]

Poetri.. You are very very inspirational... You put a smile on my face and I linked this to a cpl other girls.. Thanks for the good time :-)

[unthinkablelove2009]

Nice poem

[xgayngsterx]

@funknastydarrling thumbs down was not intentional. great poem.

[babigirlt1]

i was just thinking how lonely i am being single...but after hearing this i think il just date myself. lol

[LoveandLiveLife60]

This is so funny. We should all date ourselves. lol

[LoveandLiveLife60]

This is so funny. We should all date ourselves

[PrimeCutMacDoggydog]

I  got a girlfriend and my self-confidence still went up just watching this shit. Would not have even gotten her if I didn't have this guy's raw philosophy of knowing how to say "fuck opinions" throw yourself all the damn bones once in a while. Self-respect guys, breathe it til you die.

[2011SingleLady]

i love this...and i cn relate to the words! well, i guess i am mi soulmate, im stack wit me 4eternity or until sum1 better comes along

[oogp]

[GeryBerry4141]

I love this poem, the one for your wife is amazing too

[JaywalkCorps]

makes Ice Cube look like an idiot i love this guy

[eb0nikz]

super original, and i love how he threw that being more desired when you're taken aspect. he's referring to loving yourself before you can love someone else. the attraction of honest self-confidence =D that was awesome

[BJadaz]

Forever Alone

[Spaz3278431]

i absolutely love this, this help me clearify to myself what it means to be self confident, and now i don't need anyone, and i hope everyone gets that message, you don't need people to like you or love you, you just need to love yourself and people will see that,

[zarenj21]

I like it!

[AtheneHolder]

This is Poetri's wife, Juren. It's amazing that so many people can see what I see...a truly gifted jewel. I always ask, AM I BIASED? I'm his number one fan and biggest supporter. Please check out his YouTube page, under POETRI. See him LIVE.  Bring him to your school, church, etc. You'll be AMAZED.

[bijps2shtr]

so does he use his left hand or right hand?..or if hes not in a a committed relationship with himself he sits on his arm til it goes numb and does the stranger

[djlivewir3]

i found this poem when i was goin thru a rough patch and this poem got me thru it i listened to it like 3x a day and even have on my phone to this date...Thanks Poetri

ur the bees knees...hahaha

[winfav08]

JOJO SENT ME!!!!!

[joel1445]

Is this some kind of metaphor for having confidence? By dating yourself do you mean believing in yourself, having confidence? Its true, women like confidence!

[Oceanb7]

Give this man his very own Show! HELLO? Have you not been listening to his poetry? Seeing his performances? Where the poetry oscars at? 'Cause he defo deserves more than one on his comical flow, constructive content, overall performance.... Give this man his show!!!

[nihkkka]

@Oceanb7 Most of the people on here deserve their own show/record deal/ more recognition than fags like Gucci and Wayne get.

[SchizophrenicSamurai]

@Oceanb7 As much as I love hearing him... do you really think he would end up being anything more than some Comedy Central wash-up? I'd hate to see that happen to a guy like this. Of course, if he wants to make a bunch of money by signing in to some bullshit, very little creative control contracts then, well, who am I to judge? I might do it had I the chance. Besides, mainstreaming what he does is not going to make him better. Only bigger. *Is currently dating himself* Whoo! lol

[etalutargnoc]

Very creative delivery, I enjoyed your presentation!

[RAVENWILDCHILD]

GENIUS! I LOVE THIS

[AvisPope]

This is awesome :-) I'd love to see you perform live!!!

[scispoetic]

Damn thats whats up lol

[WTFLezBeReal]

dis yo

[okonkwoobiageli]

HELL Yeah!!!!!

[Netherwolf6100]

lol i love this poem its so real. And he's right. Whenever you're in a relationship or waiting for someone, doesn't it seem like people become more attracted to you and you can't do a damn thing about it XD

[mrsbooty09]

i love this poem makes me want to date myself

[worsecards]

if you date yourself youre gay.

[TBAGHennin]

@worsecards nah. its masturbation.

[thinkverypositive]

Excellent, very funny and has a hidden message, very clever

[rbud79]

OH Shit

Poetri you speak to me and this is just the best THANK YOU

[RukiRocks521]

that was so cute.

[NaiJorJul]

I'm 17 and what I realize is most people of my age don't apperciate poetry. But damn i sure do. they are missing out. and Poetri you are one of my faviortes. Do you have any more poems?

[iGShock]

@Poetri lol ok. niceee

[Lori573]

This poem made me feel good about myself

[mskillebaby]

Poetri is honestly one of the reasons i fell in love with poetry ..real poetry deep poetry ..the type tht has the power to make yu laugh til it hurts or bring a tear to your eye..the stuff tht makes yu think the type tht makes yu wonder...i love poetry

[Bedlam]

poetri, can't thank you enough for making this.

[ilovemutemath]

He sounds like Baby Bear from Sesame Street.

A poetic Baby Bear.

[accentplaya18]

This may be one of the most relatable poems for a majority of ppl in this world. It takes someone who is truly mature (and still single) to understand that this poem is for those without another but they have themselves. AMAZING!

[MrFullCup]

mad stuff

hahahaha

[crypla7]

lol that was cool....that lifted my spirits

[ZuRiToS1989]

[ElitistSaviour]

[clap clap clap}

thank your borther, this piece just made my week. . . . i think it might have just made myself jealous of yourself cause yourself has a guy with such an appearnt amazing attitude and myself is stuck with a guy like me. .

[freshfoots]

Poetri, I haven't heard a poet like in a while and it's refreshing to watch your work; keep it up, man.

[TheHeavenlySingers]
