Sarah Kay performs "Table Games"

i don’t know if anyone will even see this, but Right Where You Left Me by Taylor Swift reminds me so much of this poem

When you thought he buttered you up he made you toast and served you breakfast

My favorite poem. Her words bring me joy

Ah my heartttt

its incredible how funny this poem is for how quickly it made me tear up

God loves u so much ✝️💕✝️

5 years on and this poem is still as brilliant as it was

Well this just broke me.

God loves u so much share the gosoel🕇🌻🕆 oh how i love poetry

Where is Sarah these days?

Brilliant!!!great job!!!

wow, ouch, that is all I can muster up for the moment being. thank you Sarah.

never gets old ❤

She makes words sexy!!

Beautiful and heartbreaking

I’m 4 years late ! Wow

I was the warmth in your stomach after a meal. I was the sound of the satisfaction after finishing. I was the taste of love left lingering on your lips. I am not food on the table for you to play with, yet that‘s how you treated me, and left me with a bitterness in my mouth, afraid to bite, or chew, or swallow, afraid to eat again, and be left sitting at the table alone.
- Me

I love the fluctuation between laughter and deep sympathetic silence

"I have loved you for five years."

How to cry and laugh at the same time by Sarah Kay

This reminds me of liza koshy and david dobrik

lovely

Smooth!

This never grows old 🥺🥺🥺

"Food always tastes more delicious when you feel victorious. Maybe this is why people like to hunt."
I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard.

I love this woman 😍

I laughed, I cried (as I do every time that I watch it). She is my spirit animal. Each person experiences the pain of heartache in ways that are unique to them. It is so bittersweet to think that someone can relate to me because of a situation that I never wanted to be a part of, that I didn’t choose.

Waiters have to deal with so much, including some irritating customers 🤦‍♂️

kinwa XXXXXDDDDDDD

Sarah Kay, always a legend

keep up the good work in you

as a pun queen who went through a similar experience but is still on good terms with the offender, I desperately want to send this to him and say; this is hilarious and also hey fuck you a little bit!

Amazing and amazing!

I have to watch this for a school project

I hate-watch slam poetry (I’m sad to admit), but this is the best I’ve seen on this channel. I truly love it

Her intelligence is astounding

I guess I was more disposable than I thought 💔

Sarah kay is the best poet and story teller i have ever encountered✨

i laughed and then i cried

i really like how she maintained the humorous tone througout almost all of the poem to convey the meaning. a lot of poems like this start funny but then turn serious but she kept being funny, which kind of made it sadder..? but the tonal consistency was chefs kiss

Wow! Amazingly powerful and exceedingly well-delivered. Quite the "biting" commentary. Best to be "waiting" ... than to be the "waiter" (the one who waits... for the punch line). I would say you have an amazing "recipe" for empathy in this sweet little "dessert" that you've crafted! Nothing here that I couldn't "swallow." It wasn't even "salty;" it was clever and subtle; showing the prowess of the true "word chef," aka Sarah Kay.

Starts with laugh , Ends with tears .... What a talent.

Beautifully deep

I want to be this talented ^_^

Now my dream :- To play a table punch line game with her

Damn gal

this is just fucking genuis.

Bars.

i love this poem so much...kept me laughing
