I saw this in a theater, at a Buddy performance, I thought I knew what was coming, it was more, the room heaved a breath in unison, there were many audible sniffles and a lot of silence. Thanks.
omg I didn't know he actually performed this wow so mind-blowing, this is literally my favorite piece of all time by anyone. Right up there with Scroobius Pip's Magician's Assistant.
I had the pleasure spending a day with Buddy. His kindness is something I won’t forget in my lifetime. We haven’t talked or didn’t meet again, but on the other hand he talks to me every time I come back to his art. You are something special Buddy. Happy to know you.
A living legend. Proof that having the courage to feel and love breeds higher intelligence, the best fruit and perspective. I get flustered trying to express how important his contributions to the human condition are. Peace.
Family: A beautifully written and spoken piece of work,it made me cry. A beautiful fluffy fat biscuit or scrambled eggs everyone has them in theirs,admit or not they're still there,family,family is always there for you in a time of need,comfort,an ear,shoulder to lean on, and that feeling of unconditional love.....very well done!
maaaan can you imagine, he wouldve had to perform this to his family first, make sure they were ok with it, and then INVITE them to be in his video?!??! thats so gutsy yall
Sometimes I wonder if they didn't know the content of the poem until after the fact. Like they filmed the stuff first and then he dropped this bomb on them
We hope so too Tina! Never hurts to share em =) This is such a unique video and poem. Every actor in the film is a member of the Author's family if I remember correctly. -SVC
Buddy Wakefield is as good as it gets. He invited my friends to dinner after a slam one time when he found out how far they drove to go there. I still regret not going with them.
Buddy is so good at recycling material to convey a bigger message with awesome backgrounds as a poet he is untouched and massively underrated but to me he helps me to understand better
Buddy: always one of the best. Music under this piece: fire🔥. What is this music? -I tried catching it in the credits, but... I think maybe I missed it...
It feels almost unfair how talented this man is.
blackdogsong He’s one of the best.
100%
And I'm sure for him and all of those who hold that scale of talent that it takes a tremendous amount of unfair suffering in order to reach others...
Thank you for everything Buddy.
I cannot stop watching this and it gets more poignant and heartbreaking everytime. This man is a treasure
"Effective coping skills, they weren't affordable when we were kids."
Possibly the best piece of spoken word I've ever gotten to hear.
Buddy will do that to ya.
I feel the same way. He is an amazing man... I call him a modern day prophet
It's amazing, but convenience store is still my favourite from Buddy.
It doesn't get any better than Buddy Wakefield. Especially seeing him live.

You are brutally beautiful. Thank you buddy. Thank you.
I don’t ever not cry when I listen to this. Not even if it’s the fourth time in a row.
A living legend. Proof that having the courage to feel and love breeds higher intelligence, the best fruit and perspective. I get flustered trying to express how important his contributions to the human condition are. Peace.
This man is the reason I write.
“PROVE NOTHING AND CALL IT GRACE” UGH BUDDY
Wish I could buy this . Can’t stop listening

Very good video. Both words and scenes were beautiful.
You are, for me, the Susan Boyle of Poetry. Angelic truths, rhymes, and wisdom. Don't stop along this path. You are prophetic. Love you, brother.
Thank you Buddy

Dear Buddy,

Honestly.
With feeling.
And Grace.

Buddy=love. Thank you for all that you are and do.
I have loved Buddy's work since he visited my college 7-8 years ago. First real slam poetry I had ever heard. Got me hooked.
heartbreakingly beautiful. forever my favorite poet.
just....wow...I live for beautiful amazing human expressions like this. just incredible
Been waiting a long time for another Buddy Wakefield poem, and this was definitely worth the wait.
I can't fail, I had the honour to meet Buddy before he was my buddy.
Damn Buddy.... I still remain thankful you put things into words.
🦋it is so important to remember that your past does not define you. Gotta look at the lessons learned
Buddy's voice is my favorite sound
Thank you
I saw Buddy live in the UK as few years ago. Such talent doesn't come around so often...
Buddy Wakefield is as good as it gets. He invited my friends to dinner after a slam one time when he found out how far they drove to go there. I still regret not going with them.
Every goddamn time I see this...
I love Buddy so very very much.
incredible.

you will always be my hero, my inspiration, my lifesaver. one love - H
It's sad that videos like this don't have a million views.
This Buddy, one of those small reasons I leave RUclips's notifications on
So much love and mad respect 🙏🏻⭐❤. Thank you for sharing this where we can all feel it and the ripples it sends with it 💧💦🌊

This poem feels more like a parlor trick. It's following the same script as all the others.
How do you mean? I am new to this
@@mungiesilvers5544 To me it sounds like a spoken word template with some words filled in. It doesn't feel very authentic.
Nah.
