    Something about her. Her voice. The way she moves her hand and her words. Her tone of voice. Just so mesmerizing. There are things she talks about that I have never personally gone through Etc and yet I can still feel I have And I think that's when you know a poet is good at what they do. Is when they put you in another world and reality.

      That's exactly what spoken word poetry is. Shapes of words, shapes of hands, expression of the body and voice in a way that puts us in a different world. That's all art is actually. The subject of the picture matters but thats not what makes it art. And it's gorgeous.

    I was so curious who Mrs. Ribeiro is, so I did a little googling here and there, and maybe she is Lea Rangel-Ribiero? She died in 2011. Sarah's description of her sari and the kids appointments was the same as the one who posted in the forum. Such an amazing person.

    "The one who loved to read out loud: now a *poet* in California."
    I don't know why, but that line just hit different. This poem might not tackle a ton of social issues or be saddening or reveal something we didn't know before, but it's probably the most interesting poem I've ever heard and spoken from a voice that can make anything seem profound. I think I just discovered one of my new favorite poets.

      Oh how the heavens have cried
      And when she did
      the world would be tucked in the covers of warmth.
      The glow in the dark.
      The flickers.
      Which in this moment silences the rumbles.
      Only when one braved the sadness,
      Did they find the flow of life,
      And the joy of dancing in the rain.
      It’s been awhile

    • @sippycup5510
      @sippycup5510 3 года назад +1

      Her words cast a glow across my face
      So has her kindness that ignites an ever-lasting flame.
      May she carry her torch through the storm.
      Even if the rain has distinguished the fire.
      Should it never distinguish the fire inside.

    Omg crying to this because it related to me so much.. my entire life my brothers called me dumb and stupid, like most brothers do. In school I was called stupid I was always the only blonde in an school with 90% Asians (which is not me stereotyping but I'm just saying because it's rare to meet a blonde Asian so you could see how I was an easy target) and when I was told this over and over i accepted it and believed I'd only be a c average student at best. It wasn't until I had a teacher in my junior year of high school who I was so close with that literally made me grow in such a short period of time and like that I was a B+ student and to someone that might not be an accomplishment but to meant everything and for that I am thankful for Mr. Giknis greatest guy ever.. it's amazing what kind of role model a teacher can be

    How I missed this poem out of all the poems I legit watched almost religiously when I first discovered miss Kay but oof.. to still see I’m here to comment 6 years later knowing 6 years ago after hearing Sarah’s poem “The Type” I was absolutely bloody inspired by the highest and beyond of comprehension I was even able to comprehend back then at my age. I am 23 now and honestly just knew I wouldn’t make it past 17 back then. And to see I made it way past my original death age I gave myself yearssssss back just absolutely elates me to know I am indeed strong, Sarah Kay you are stronger farther than just your words and you reading this are stronger than words can describe by just being here and existing after all this life torment I’m sure we all have experienced at some point in our lives. Thank you Sarah for existing, thank you for your creator for your creation and thank YOU for remaining strong despite how hard life can be always know you are loved in some way by someone, and if no one has told you that you are loved, you are loved. By not just me but many more. May you all be well for eternities and beyond. 🌙
