Hey Chelsea, thank you for this comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this peek into my brain. Spoken word poetry has always been a bit of an obsession of mine. And my time at black coffee, while I had the chance, was great for exploring that.
Haha, I feel like a lot of your writing would appeal to more traditional journals Emily. Have you entered any contests or submitted to journals before?
A few but really my poems aren't the style. They want you to bleed on the pages, I'm a rather bloodless creature. But I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by your efforts.
A lot of poetry journals want the experiences and insights taken from those experiences. Reflective poetry. You've got a good way of bringing the reader into your shoes and walking them through the scene
This was a brilliant insight into a genius mind, behind the words we all adore. I adore you sir, and am beyond proud of you and where you have come, before and since I've known you. I've said it before, but you have a quiet strength I have always admired. Great work, love you bro 💛
Bro, one of the best compliments I may have ever gotten, that I have a quiet strength. But it takes one to know one and there is something similar about you that I admire, your humility and perspective are class. One Love brother. Thank you.
I already enjoyed this poem when I read it, but when you read it aloud.. wow! You’re right, there is something so elevating about hearing spoken word.
Thanks for sharing this intimate corner of your life. It makes you so relatable and so human 💙

This was just so real and open - it was a real pleasure to listen to you read the poem and then explain the context with such honesty. Thank you.
I always ask to have no refills of oxy if I ever have to have it. Will think about them for too long after…
Love, love, love this!!!!! Bravo! You are truly gifted! An amazing talent! Love the insight into your thoughts 😊
Who calls it cannabis!? 😂 lol!
Man now with the unexplained list of contest entries I'm going to have to listen to the audio to know what that is about!! Way to hook the reader

I'm very upset I didn't read this at night.
I'm coming back at least once. (three times minimum)
Thank you Deb, you're awesome!!
