  • I didn't stop watching your clips until my laptop battery ran out.

  • @lystmilitary91 He doesn't want her to die. But in that same selfish way that we as people do, He wanted to not have the burden of watching it happen, of seeing her die in her own time and having to see the deterioration and death of something he loved so much. To have them ripped from him is, in a way, a sort of gift, that he never had to witness her final moments of suffering.

  • Thank you.

  • I'd like to have a more meaningful response to this than simply clicking the like button. To say the least it caught me up in it for a moment.

  • How could this have any dislikes. It's full of sorrow, yet so beautiful.

  • so powerful. Thank you for performing this

  • I don't know how he can stand to get up tgere and say these raw, beautiful things. I couldn't.

  • I want you to read my poems even if just to tell me they suck. Because that meant you read it.

  • Taylor, I want to thank you so much for introducing performance poetry. Listening to all the different artist has become a lire changing moment. I'm a member of my schools literary magazine and we try so hard to get noticed, but many teens don't care for poetry and I wish I could sit them down and tell them to listen. Listen to the words of kids your age and try to find the joy i find when i listen to them. Just... thank you

  • @sopranocat ...that actually is saying something profound

  • Wow, I can't imagine what Taylor has had to experience. Thank you for putting your heart into the words. I have been on the side of the depressed, and I know the pain and frustration of never feeling better. From all of Taylor's other clips I've checked out today, I just really had no idea. I hope healing is coming your way Mr. Mali. Thank you again for sharing your voice.

  • Just utter silence. Everyone just sits there, not sure if to clap or cry.
