This was very beautiful poem and i loved it, ive come to realized i have monsters in my heart but im getting help from the people around me and have gotten better at controlling them. Thank you for the poem, it has really encouraged me. :)
@Poetri. It's a different kind of dude who gets on a video and thanks his fans. Keep up the poetry, baby - but keep up the attitude even more. Much love from PA
Thanks for that Poetri, been looking at my own monsters for a while. Maybe I will stop feeding the suckers. Kill them before they kill me. Thanks for the healing humor.
Good stuff Poetry: entertaining while still having a positive message. You took care of giving folk what they want and need at the same time! Bravo bruh
Poetri is AMAZING!!! My thanks goes to my english/creative writing teacher for introducing my class to this slam poet.. :)) LOVE ALL OF HIS POETRY. :)
aww how can u write "i'm fat" in ur description... come on man don't encourage us to have monsters in our eyes. they maybe monsters in ur tummy but some creative saints on ur tongue (sounds smarter in my head lol)
You are one of the handful of guys I can use to teach poetry units and my highschoolers LOVE you. Thanks for sharing your talent and making it so accessible and clean!
@Poetri i just wish the generation today would understand that poems are touching and you are probably the best ppoet i ever seen XD thanks for making me laugh
I am probably a little late on this, but i have heard almost every poem that has been on def Jam Poetry. Though this poem is my absolute favorite. I don't know what to say, but just keep doing what you are doing.
I get what you are saying to him however age shouldn't be a measure of maturity and intelligence. I am 15 and a big fan of your poems. Keep it up man.
Love this poem, I can relate too man. I've got monsters in my stomach too, I wear a 3XL and am only 16 haha. I recommend shopping at Casual Male XL, where the smallest size is an XL. Then no kids will take all the big sizes. You're a great poet, and you've definitely made me feel better
Big ups to Poetri and all the artists on def poetry jam who like him understand how gifted they are and use their gift to make society think and question....thank you
You are a star. I love what you have to say. I've been sitting here trying to find words to let you know how you make me feel listening to you but it matters not I guess. All you need to know is that you move me. Love you Poetri... Wish you would come over to the UK. Food for thought. Lol
why is poetry poetry when did people start talking this way....the long way to get there point out yes entertaining but then again why beat around the bush? why not go straight through the bush...
Hey, this is Poetri. Do you know alot about facebook? Do you mind checking out my teaser for episode II of my TV show about facebook? It is on my page. Oh and subscribe if you like the one minute video.

I remember a poet on this show who said he remembered being young, listening to Grandmaster Flash and watching Transformers on a saturday morning. Does anyone know what it's called and by who.
I got monsters and decepticons in my stomach. They say hey i think you need a pizza with your cheesy bread and chicken kickers. The decepticaons in there tell me i look good and i will start my diet on monday. lmao
EXCELLENTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so amusing, yet so poignant! Literally one of the best poems I've ever heard, and his expression made it all the better...Kudos Poetri...man...speechless now...
Slam dunk and to the point real sneaky way to get the message over. He is superb in his delivery and I'm hoping we get to see more of him doing this same kind of unoffensive humor.
Damn made me laugh right until the end then he dropped a bomb on me
