    'i think we make God look like us for a reason, inspite of all we trust, we just wanna be believed in.' this is too beautiful.

    I am never disappointed with Andrea and her poetry. There are very few things I can count on but Andrea is always solid ground.

    I can't believe I'm watching this poem only 4 hours after it was posted. This poem feels eternal. Everything about it. The way it was written. The way a loved one shared it with me. Everything about this poem screams "god!" therefore screams; "us!" therefore means; Everyone. I haven't written poetry in a really long time but I sure as hell feel like picking up a pen again. Thank you Andrea, thank you button poetry, thank you, summer.

    Every couple of years, a poem emerges from someone else that feels like it should have come from me. So so many lines of this one pierce my heart. I want to love like this, to be loved like this, to even speak to myself with this much truth.

    I've watched this at least a dozen times. Andrea is a virtuoso, helping the world understand and give words to their feelings, which (at least for me) helps me feel more. One line in this poem that I don't understand is, "I love you, because you've never had a mirror face." Can someone explain what that means? What is a mirror face?

    I merely have a theory: A person with a mirror face would behave according to how people around them do, but the person without the mirror face is always being themselves

    WoW!! I've been following this channel for about a month now, found thru TWLOHA... So Artists/Poets... sorry if idk the right "title".. But, SO MANY have been AMAZING, SO MANY have brought me to tears, to my knees, MADE me HAPPY, MADE me SAD, MADE me HUMBLE, proud, disappointed, disbeliefed, uncertain, confused, STRONG, ALONE/NOT ALONE.. SO MANY emotions have came... AND Gone, Some I think about Daily, some evenly, or sporadically!! BUT ... THIS, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, SEEN, FELT SO FAR.. IS JUST... WOW!!! 🦋🦋 What an OUTSTANDING Write!! HIT HOME.. 8th time watching before this comment, and I cried, laughed, and felt MANY MORE EMOTIONS... Speaks Straight To The Soul👏👏👏 Thank You for Sharing! 😇 💜
