"For the star wishing on you!!!" Andrea!!!! Thank you!!!! You just knocked out the one piece I needed to rewrite a messed up story!!!! I have a direction for it now!!!! I'm gonna start it over tomorrow!!!! Gutting it and beginning with the very beginning. Yeeesssssss!!!!!!!
Andrea, You may never see this comment. But I have to try to reach you anyway. You give me a great gift by your first poem. I have not even watched the rest of this video yet. I cannot believe the beauty that you have brought forth to me. I can't believe it. Yet, there it is. In the most perhaps cliche, yet humble way I tell you thank you. Thank you for softening my granite heart with your angelic words. Thank you for restoring in me some sense of faith in the future of humanity.
cried. cry every single fucking time i listen to it and i listen to it often just for that first spoken word to just give me hope. damn. beautiful and powerful. " this is the time you went through hell so someone wouldn't have to..."
Beautiful all around--in so many ways! i'm going to post that last poem on facebook for my Baptist relatives to take in--because we gotta preach to more than our own choir. i don't think i've ever heard a more beautiful, uplifting, eloquent argument put forward for marriage equality. Just beautiful...
oh god...I wasnt ready for the first one, I definitely easnt ready for the second one, and I DAMN sure wasnt ready for the third one!!! I think my heart stop from the beginning of the third to the end...
i listen to this in the hopes that her rhythms and beauty will permeate into my mind and I can borrow it for a while to give a skeleton to all these feelings i have inside. so beautiful
You make me cry, hit me deep inside, my cry is not something that builds its like you are unwarpping me, then bam you smash my heart open in your truth. thank you.x
My 13 year old daughters just had me watch this with them and I could not be more honored that they carry a heart for this in-depth craft. Andrea has so much insight with passion.
Uh... I'm a singer, song writer, I also write poetry that's what music is. I also write my screen plays and theater. This is amazing, but I am beginning to understand I don't think I could do this, it's much like Rap and I can't talk that fast. So for all the poets who do this kuddos... It's not an easy thing to do, just like some can't play and sing at the same time... It's amazing words, and knowing how this feels... As I am also an American Veteran... I know and have felt all 3 poems before.
"I can't get off this stage without being gay!" Love love love Andrea Gibson. Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe when I listen to the words. I've heard 'For Eli' a hundred times, and it's always hit me, but this time I burst into tears. Thank you, Andrea.
Man, I'm sitting here, shaking and tearing up right now, in the middle of a public library at how touching and true her words resonate
the world needs more andrea gibsons... it would be a better place
She is absolutely beautiful.
Just so you know, Andrea uses they/them pronouns.
I don't think there has ever been anything that can make me cry almost instantly. Seriously. And I don't really cry. Good lord.
And this is why I write. I could only dream of being half as good as Andrea Gibson. She's just amazing.
I didn't realise something as simple as saying yes could make me feel so passionate...
"For the star wishing on you!!!"
Andrea!!!! Thank you!!!! You just knocked out the one piece I needed to rewrite a messed up story!!!!
I have a direction for it now!!!!
I'm gonna start it over tomorrow!!!! Gutting it and beginning with the very beginning.
Yeeesssssss!!!!!!!
I never get tired of hearing Andrea. Brilliant. I can't believe I didn't know she existed before last month.
I would do anything to see her in person. All her poems leave me speechless
I used to think that music needed background music but I was wrong, this is music, this is inspiration, this is art
Pure gold!! I thought the "beepbeetibabatababee..." song was a joke at first, but it just blew me away in the end. Such a passionate poet.
WHO would dislike this?? Perfection!
All this and the girl can sing too???? Can't take all this awesome!!!!!!!

Thank you for reminding me what the spoken word is capable of doing.
You make me cry, hit me deep inside, my cry is not something that builds its like you are unwarpping me, then bam you smash my heart open in your truth. thank you.x
Remember that you have your own unique Gift to bring; tap into her depth and find your way!
