Holy moly!!! Yes it does feel good!! Thank you for watching! This is the first time I’ve ever gone viral so for it to reach 500 plays and then 1000 plays all in under 24 hours is phenomenal! I’m shook to see this in my notifications! ๐
Thank you all for watching!! ๐

I’m definitely inspired to get my first Tik Tok video going. So thanks a bunch! I appreciate the virtual cookies/ inspiration!


It doesn’t mean I’m famous and it doesn’t mean I’m rich but can I just please enjoy going viral for the first time in my life and for doing something original and on my own. This is my passion. I’m showing you the best of me (it doesn’t mean I’m perfect, I’m just giving it my all). And believe it or not, I’m actually scared doing this stuff.

It’ll never happen but one can dream! It doesn’t stop me from shooting for the stars! ๐

Once it reached 500 plays (some 14 hours after it was published) it only took 3 more hours for it to have another 500 plays, putting it over 1000 plays in roughly 17 hours, reaching 1K status in under 24 hours, for an original poem I wrote, which is incredible! I’ve never done anything like this before. But it’s very encouraging! Thanks for watching my reel!! ๐

Thanks! It’s pretty exciting! I wanted to do more of these but I was really scared to even do any Tik Tok’s and now I’m encouraged to do more spoken word for y’all. ๐

You certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself and it was a good idea to keep a kind of bloopers reel ๐

For some reason it wouldn’t let me have like an 18 second reel, I had to add a second part so I just tossed in that short blooper I had. I had a few bloopers haha but I’m a noob at making reels! I want to get better, I obviously wasn’t expecting this one to go viral! I freestyle wrote the poem but it took me quite a few tries just to record it! It’s also extremely difficult reciting and performing in fangs! It changes your tongue or something. And mine are super freaking fragile, I already broke one in another set. Heartbreaks! ๐
So the going viral is helping ease the pain. But I don’t need fangs to put out excellent poetry. ๐ช๐ช

I would like to learn to add transitions and fades and stuff and at least on the Tik Tok app you can use pictures and vids (Reels are video only).

Not quite! But I definitely have more courage going forth. I just can’t expect the same results. Keep the expectations low, that way I don’t set myself up for failure. But keep the bar high, cuz I’m a competitive little fuck. ๐

I failed to mention that- once it reached 500 views (about 14 hours after published) – it then had another 500 views in only 3 hours – bringing it to over 1,000 views in under 24 hours (with some 6 or 7 hours remaining before it’s been out a total of 24 hours published). Okay, so my head is spinning a bit. I’m definitely bringing more spoken word video to you soon! ๐๐๐โคโคโค๐๐๐

This is the first time I’ve ever done spoken word like this and it is encouraging me to move over to the Tik Tok app. I’ll do more on Insta. And still gonna be adding something to my Twitch schedule. Big fears but this going viral the first time doing something like this makes me feel really good. I just can’t compare this to everything I do in the future. Like a junkie trying to find that rush again. Performing and writing is the rush. But it does feel like a cool achievement, my first time going viral. For something I’ve written and performed in my little home studio. Yeps. I’ve had this stuff lying around for years, I just never had any belief in myself because my circle had me feeling like I didn’t exist… I just want to keep focusing on my writing, don’t have much time left. ๐

As it should!! It’s a fantastic achievement ๐ Something folks who wish they had the balls (like me) can only aspire to.
Here’s hoping your posts and performances continue not only to give you that rush of creativity, but also to inspire us all to look for the same too ๐๐ค
