"My wounds will never ever be bigger than I am." ❤️
'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.

For a second I thought you said you were very disappointed and I was about to get mad and this is why I always read stuff twice
“When I get to heaven I will refuse to call it heaven, if the people I love, who put me through hell aren’t there”. I mean come onnnn 😫🔥
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.

She posted a video of this a while back; pretty sure it's dedicated to Buddy Wakefield.

@Moh'd Gaki - What a beautiful (and beautifully written) comment. I can see just by how you express this that you have a lot of depth waiting to come out. The world needs to hear it.
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.
Beautiful inside and out. Listening to over and over.
Wow! I cried from a place I never knew existed when I herd this❤️ Thank you🙏🏽
No one hits like Andrea
Thank you, Andrea, for breaking through the bricks laid by my broken heart. All at once knocking out the mortar of my rage so I can remember I don’t build anything without everything🙏🏼❤️🌟
This was beautiful and piercing all at the same time. Thank you for bringing this into my life. Andrea, thank you.
So beautiful, today has taken over my emotions and I will never forget this one. Thank you for making my day much better
My favourite 💕💕
My favourite poet! 💜

Andrea Gibson's poetry always moves me.
I love this poem. Over and over.
Just keep it in repeat. I cried a bit.
Just ❤ly.
Andrea, you have been an inspiration to me artistically and expressively for over a decade. Thank you for what you do.
This is so unbelievably hopeful - Andrea is such a gift
You touch me and remind me that love hopes and endures all things - thank you ❤
Awesome to see you perform this one Andrea! Love Buddy and this is just brilliant. You ARE lightning!
WOW. I feel very emotional after that . That was just-wow. Every single word I connected deeply too. Thank you Andrea for writing this ❤
oh my god yeeees. directly into the heart
Burning to become fire 🔥
I am blown away and speechless. I love you.
Ooof this one really hits... I discovered this at the most sychronistic moment, the timing truly...wow
Level hearted. That's just perfect.
God, I love this so much
This poem always gets me
This was great very profound
This a great poem especially a poem called a year of the grudges it tells me that life is short and your trying everyday to become the best person you can be everyday i like this poem good poem 💯💯
Beautifully performed ❤️
I needed you today. Thank you ❤️
I can't believe that I am seeing this poem one month later. I don't know how to describe what I just felt right now
Thank you O:)
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

I’ve never heard a poem so clear .
How can I like this 3000 times
