abettertime-abetterplace asked: You are one of my greatest inspirations, so much of an inspiration that for a paper I have to write about any american poet I chose to do it on you.

getdown-staydown asked: You were absolutely amazing UCI on thursday night!
If I don’t have a lot time to talk, be happy for me. It means I’m focused. If I’m available every time you call, be worried

Often, we are just packages hoping to be opened up by someone who is excited to see what we have inside of us
Anonymous asked: I'm writing some spoken word for a class. It's my first time with spoken word, and honestly, even just writing it was extremely difficult...I kept thinking to myself, "What will my listeners think?". And now that I finally have it, I was wondering if you could give me some performance tips. I know it's supposed to be genuine emotion and blah blah blah but this is my first...
