Generally not a fan of poetry slam, but when it's good it's pretty amazing.

This is one of those amazing ones. Well executed.

I typically find slam poetry too angsty and forced, but when the topic demands it and it's well done, it's excellent.

This was great.

Very very well-written poem and well-performed as well.

All I have to say is... good luck to her future daughters. Female objectification is pretty rampant these days LOL.

This is odd, coming from the girl who hyper sexualizes herself and her interactions with others for attention.

Learn to distinguish between play/joking and real stuff.
I knew someone would say this, though I was hoping that by now this was clear. Yes, I too am susceptible to the whole 'am I pretty'-thing, but I play about with it. Muck about really. Coz I do know how focus on that can make you very much a one-dimentional kind of person. Doesn't mean it's not fun to overdo though on occasion and go a bit crazy. It's me being self-depreciating.

Nobody does. And few have seen my pictures for that matter. Once again, I may enjoy attention, as most people do, but I'm also highly aware of the fact that it's an innate drive in many people (if not all, everyone likes to feel like they matter) as well as the fact that society vehemently fans those flames in all of us. And I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as it doesn't get out of hand. So I play around with it.

Doesn't mean I don't see what lies underneath, as this lady so eloquently and humorously puts forth.

Everything you just wrote seems to defeat the purpose of the video you just posted.

If a mod could close/delete this thread then?
