Papergirl, I love your poetry. I'm sitting waiting for a class and listening to your poems while writing a poem of my own. You are amazing and I hope you continue to write and perform more :3
I just wanted to say thank you for all the incredible comments and your generous words about the art. I am currently working on a plan to add more poems and "re-release" some of the others. Thank you again for your interest, your observations, and your curiosity -- keep that. Don't lose that, ever.
Mary, I have your videos on a playlist. Please add more so I can add more to this playlist. I plan on going to the Neo-Futurists as soon as my finals are over.
It's sad that things have "gone down like that" over and over again for a countless amount of people, but you have managed to encapsulate numerous emotions in this poem, radiating such great beauty.
I don't know how you manage to do it every single time, but you are so inspiring.
Thank you for your courage, thank you for being someone that can shut down the filters of fear and tell whoever wants to listen your heart. I dont do that shit anymore either, and your passion and conviction and power that you convey is shared with me. We dont need to tell the horror stories, because we already know. I dont live in that dark place anymore... why should i go back?
I wish that I could say something better than "Wow". Or remove the surprise from my face and gracefully put my jaw back in it's place. I wish that I could say that I can't relate. But I can. I could tell you horror stories, but you've heard them before. You've been there. The hardest things to hear are often exactly what needs to be said.

This is very good. Very -pardon my lack of language- refreshing.
