WARNING: This poetry can be very depressing and cause anxiety in some. Please read or listen to with caution for your own emotional state. Jesse is also a genius in his expressions and descriptive poetry.
Mr. Bernstein was an amazing “Spoken Word” poet that went through way too much. His birthday was on December 4th. Rather then tribute his suicide (A loss for all), I prefer to celebrate his birthday. I thought I would introduce some of you to his poetry. Remember it can get rough.
I hope to publish some spoken word poems of my work on here someday.
Enjoy and please take pay attention to the warning above. I relate to this poem. Never having self-esteem ever for my looks… FACE And of course MORE NOISE
I hope you find a new poet you love listening to him…
Steven Jesse Bernstein — Face
And
More Noise by Steven Jesse Bernstein
😶
LOL.. blank face eh?
Indeed..
I mean… I don’t think it’s depressing properly speaking. I find it “disturbing” in a way that I couldn’t really specify. There is something in his voice… and the things he says are clearly indicating that he was having a very hard time with himself. And it was… contagious…
I agree… I was only poking fun at your face. I really do appreciate your opinion. He is very hard to listen too.
They are disturbing indeed.
Oh wow. I’ve never heard anything quite like Face before. It’s drenched in tragic … I was dumbfounded for most of it. If autobiographical I feel for him and the mother he rejected. Wow.
Yes, it was autobiographical. Jesse had a rough life. He is an amazing yet tragic poet.
I appreciate you sharing. I’ve never heard anything like it;despite your warning I pushed through..and am glad I did. Thanks 😌
His other stuff is amazing! You should listen to Prison. It is an amazing experience! 😉 I am glad you liked it.
I might have to do one piece at a time as I’m a bit on the sensitive side. Did I say a bit??? Running to watch a comedy or something 😉 I’ll put Prison down for the future for sure!
LOL… yeah… It can have that effect!
He has a powerful presence. He must have been compelling in person. It’s sad to lose a gifted writer.
Yeah, there is an amazing biography available on youtube now i think… * looks *
Its awesome!
I’ll check it out. Thanks! I’ve got ‘More Noise’ going now.
Go Go Man is awesome too.. oh hell… all of it, lol
I’m astonished by his presence. It must have been hard for him.
I think that is a lot of the reasons why I like him. I sympathise with his plight. My own childhood sucked, lol. His cadence is powerful.
Right. So many of us were raised by people who had no business having children.
More Noise is brilliant.
I agree! I love it

Thank you. Jesse is amazing!
Indeed, he knew his stuff, that’s for sure.
My husband wrote something similar to “Face”. He wanted to kill himself by age 11. Sad…
It is, very!!
