      “Sleep”
      i like sleep.
      sleep is neat.
      i like the colorful dreams
      dreams of what could never be
      i like the emptiness, the softness
      and who i am, the me
      of an untrue reality
      i like the role play, the pretending
      that all the bad things are gonna end
      and all the broken promises are mending
      of all the apologies they’re sending
      i like the chaos, the break away
      from our modern day
      of 9-5, the never ending grind
      the exhausting repetition of this life
      i like the nothingness, the void
      i love how i can hurt, but there’s no pain
      i love how there’s nothing to be gained
      from a lie
      i love how you try and try and try and never get anywhere
      i love how nothing matters
      how no one cares in the void
      no stares in the void
      no one even glances your way
      i like how your shoulder relax
      and your back cracks
      and you sigh, a deep long sigh
      a clear mind
      nothing to grasp for, no reason to try
      i like sleep
      i love the vast, peaceful, the empty, chaotic make believe.
      but mostly,
      i like how you never have to compete
      there’s no one in this world
      the world of dream
      this world of sleep
      there’s no one but me
      just me
      just me and my make believes

      Kat Momo I think it’s more of why buy something just to destroy it you know? Like that’s time effort and money and resources that went into it. By destroying something without even getting a use out of it you’re basically just wasting resources and that’s not very good for the environment.

      Yes -- Shel Silverstein wrote MUCH better poetry than this, as do Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear and others. There are some excellent poets whose work is directed to children. In contrast, I can't helping thinking that the Hanna poem about sleep is of similar awfulness (as far as structure, rhyme, meter, etc., _not_ content) to some of the "verses" in Ken Ham's kids' books. (Which Rachel has done videos about too, of course.)

But Gabbie’s “poetry” is just SO basic and simple with childish rhymes and vocabulary that its just plain, basic, bad, and childish. I mean Shel Silverstein’s poems are really good, but its just not for Gabbie. If she has to explain these basic af “poems” then she’s just a lost cause I’m sorry she should stick to one thing at a time like her music poetry is just not for her.

    Something I've noticed about Gabbie is that she's very fake deep. She's always talking about how deep her music is and there's so many underlying messages but her lyrics are all straight to the point and obvious, any meaning she does try to add seems so forced.
    I think this is a big reason why she chose to do a poetry book. Poetry's main point is to carry a message through your words and she chose to write poetry to seem deep. Her poems in reality aren't crafted to have a deep underlying meaning that you wouldn't realize until you've reread it tons of times, it's very straight to the point like you had said.

      maryam aln Fuck it I’m bored

      Slam it’s head violently
      Batter and bruise
      The frail being
      Until my eyes are black
      My head is hammered
      Sleep is indeed neat
      For those who can have it
      Crying beckons me elsewhere
      The battle is won by me
      Shouting persists in my head
      By young and old
      Sleep is neat

At first I thought, "poorly written, but I can relate." Then she tried to make a funny and just made me angry. Super callous and lacking of any self awareness.

    I like sleep. Sleep is neat.
    Sleep means everything to me.
    I like sleep. Sleep is sweet.
    Sweeter than what life could bring
    When I sleep, I can dream
    Of what I'm truly meant to be
    Instead I'm here, where I can't think
    Instead my mind is on the brink
    That's why I love my 12 hour blink
    And wish it were eternity.

      Or maybe they try to seek comfort so much that they turn to those methods even if they seem foolish for us? I mean, people who have mental breakdowns are not easy to understand. We could speculate here all day long why they act like that and still fail to see what’s the underlying reason.
      I, for one, experienced being called an attention seeker because I had cuts on my wrists back then (I stopped doing them though). They laughed at me when they get a glimpse of it. Not trying to guilt trip any of you, point of why I said this is because there might really be a good reason why people do stuff and assuming something that drags them down is just sad...

      dreams of what could never be
      i like the emptiness, the softness
      and who i am, the me
      of an untrue reality
      i like the role play, the pretending
      that all the bad things are gonna end
      and all the broken promises are mending
      of all the apologies they’re sending
      i like the chaos, the break away
      from our modern day
      of 9-5, the never ending grind
      the exhausting repetition of this life
      i like the nothingness, the void
      i love how i can hurt, but there’s no pain
      i love how there’s nothing to be gained
      from a lie
      i love how you try and try and try and never get anywhere
      i love how nothing matters
      how no one cares in the void
      no stares in the void
      no one even glances your way
      i like how your shoulder relax
      and your back cracks
      and you sigh, a deep long sigh
      a clear mind
      nothing to grasp for, no reason to try
      i like sleep
      i love the vast, peaceful, the empty, chaotic make believe.
      but mostly,
      i like how you never have to compete
      there’s no one in this world
      the world of dream
      this world of sleep
      there’s no one but me

I had forgotten how much I loved it and got out of it. What's happened with Gabbie is unfortunate, and I know you know better than to equate value with "relevance" but what she said was in such poor taste and also untrue. I thought I'd let you know you're extremely relevant. Maybe to a smaller community, but it's a community you've built and retained over the years. I'm always amazed at how regularly you post and how much effort and thought goes into each video.

    At the sake of giving Gabbie the benefit of the doubt I decided to watch this. This is not bullying. This is a critique and review from someone who knows what they’re talking about. She compares the poems to multiple other writers who wrote about similar themes. Gabbie’s rampage is unbelievable and though I’ve been less of a fan of hers for years, this is too much. Ridiculous. I’m sorry you’re experiencing the backlash of her tantrum.

      Actually that is a lot more appealing than anything she wrote - it’s simple yet funny, even removed from the mocking of Gabbie, it can be interpreted as a mockery of a certain subsection of society.
      Essentially you’ve managed to create two layers in three sentences which is a lot more than Gabbie ever did

    • @TotosTales
      @TotosTales 4 года назад +117

      Genuinely if you flip the first two lines you even get a proper rhythm.
      “Dogs Bark
      Trees have bark
      I am one with nature”
      Also as the person above pointed out it is reminiscent of a playground rhyme, which combined with its simplicity, if it is taken as a criticism of a subculture if society would imply that that subculture isn’t very smart and relies on 8th grade intellectualism.
      So layer one: a funny short poem of someone say in the park
      Layer two: a comment on egocentric subculture being simple, vapid and self important
      Layer three: One could argue that you are saying that to enjoy nature one must too regress to a simplistic childlike state, although I am not sure I could write a super convincing argument on that...
      I’m sorry, I just really enjoyed those three lines, they’re genuinely quite good imo. Yes I realize this is ridiculous

    Her poem “sticks” was actually quite nice until the last four lines. Completely ruined it and made it angsty self hatred, which is a common thing she likes to shove in literally anything she writes. There’s lots of problems with her writing, but specifically the angsty, edgy extreme grasp at attention that’s plaguing her work is seriously dragging her down. Mental illness is not a trend, and the attempt she’s making at making a statement to relate to youth is.. sad. It’s an obvious lack of connection to society due to her other problematic behaviors, and maybe someday when she works at her issues she may find writing to be more kind to her.

    • @sufferingsoup3296
      @sufferingsoup3296 4 года назад +98

      I completely agree. Literally every single Gabbie piece in this video was just absolutely drenched in edge and self-hatred and angst. It’s so overwhelming and wayy over done, and although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having an angsty poem, hers just are not even a little bit subtle or elegant. Her writing sounds like an edgy teen dumping their feelings on tumblr, not an adult trying to tell a dark story through art. And there’s just nothing considerate about any of them, especially that last one about cutting hair. She’s so aggressive about the depression theme and it just makes it all sound like a joke. It’s very frustrating to read, I think especially as someone who has been surrounded by these very serious issues their whole life.

    • @woowieghost
      @woowieghost 4 года назад +44

      I agree, out of all the poems she read out in this video by Gabbie I quite liked Sticks until the obvious twist and sudden change in rhyme structure that completely distrupted the flow of the poem. Just made the last few lines difficult to read and felt rushed and I couldn't help but think she was basically saying, "I'm an edgy teenager who uses depression as a trendy personality trait"

    I liked the first line of sleep so I tried to rewrite from there:
    I like sleep! Sleep is neat!
    Into my bed's warm arms I softly creep,
    And within the monsters kindly belly,
    I searched for a sign that I was ready,
    Emerged from covers pressed all clean,
    And fell upon my floor to see,
    The scattered pieces of what I was,
    Laid out like a scrabble board.
    I like sleep! Sleep is neat!
    Cause when I dream,
    Nothing is quite what it seems,
    The huntsman's biting, human axe,
    The princess's final gasp,
    To disappear and sadly weep,
    Lost to that eternal sleep.
    I like sleep! Sleep is neat!
    When I return ask me these,
    From what plane do I softly breath,
    What fans the air across her kneck,
    To lose itself in giving back?

    I'm so very late, but I feel like poetry is using the subtle quirks of human language to communicate human experience. It can be plain language, of course, but there's a difference between "I love you" and "stars are born inside my chest every time i speak your name". This just doesn't read (to me) that it's trying to communicate anything deeper, it feels like tweets that happen to rhyme. And that's what really disappointed me.

I had this sort of dull interest in poetry, but after you made me kinda see the beauty in the craft, what goes into it, and what makes poetry poetry, I had developed this deep love for it. Poetry has become a big part of my life and identity and I can't imagine it any other way. This unfound criticism towards you hurts, because I absolutely adore your channel.

    This is the only poem I've ever written. It's about how bad I am at poetry. I still think it's better than anything in this book:
    Sitting Through a Discussion about Poetry
    I am tone-deaf to poetry,
    no matter what I do.
    It's just a jumble of words
    with line breaks in inconvenient
    places.
    If you play Beethoven for someone
    and they can't sing
    they won't gain perfect pitch.
    Some people will never know
    what's good wine
    and what isn't.
    And some will always look at
    Jackson Pollack and see
    a fly
    squashed on a windshield.
    I don't see meaning,
    or reason.
    I see words, from someone
    who uses the "enter" key
    a little too much.
    So yes, I am poem-deaf,
    so much so that I don't know
    if this even counts as a poem.

    Wow, I didn’t realize how bad her poetry was until now lol as someone who also struggles with self harm, the “cut” poem does feel very insensitive and demeaning in a way, but something that I find interesting is that Gabbie has talked about it being very hard for her to cut her hair, since she’s used it almost as a security blanket her whole life or as a thing to hide behind. So perhaps she’s trying to draw a parallel between the pain of cutting her hair and the trauma of self harm? Which i think is uhhh,,, sorta yikess

      TheRenFiles I never self harmed but I do understand the feeling of needing your hair to hide under or use to cope with anxiety or insecurities and I guess I can understand how that could be related to the feelings that fuel self harm (anxiety depression etc) but I think it's pretty insensitive to compare the two like that especially if you've never experienced self harming

      I hated that poem so much, even when I enjoyed Gabbie Hanna. I stopped reading the book only a day after getting it because it made me feel...gross. She makes it seem like she's talking about the struggle of self-harm...then switches it to her hair? Like Gabbie, I use my hair as a security blanket, but I wouldn't act like I'm hurting myself or taking my life because I'm cutting it...that's fucked up

      that depends. i didnt watch the vid yet, but cutting ur hair can actually b traumatic for some people. ur sole experience is not representative for everyone else. idk if thats the case for gabby but ive seen ppl talk abt trauma related to their hair.

      ‘educated roast’ is the best way to describe this

    Hey, I just wanted to say that I am so impressed by how you handled Gabbie recently. It would have been so easy to react in anger to all the horrible things she said but instead you tried to handle things privately over DM and encourage her to take a break to calm down. I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by how maturely you handled everything and that I really respect these videos as well - because they are just valid constructive criticism of her work and actually made me get into poetry. I hope you are doing okay after all the things Gabbie and her fans have been saying and wish you all the best!

    I love how clear your passion for poetry is. Like when you talk about it there is this sparkle in your tone and eyes. I love that
