It's been nearly 20 years since I heard this for the first time, and it still takes my breath away like it did then. Thank you.

i listen to your poems on repeat to inspire myself to become more🫶 i’ve been listening for years and learning more about love and the true bounds of kindness

This touched me deeply🤎

😢😢😢😢😢

"Let's hyperventilate like it's 1999" may be one of the best last lines ever written in poem. Especially in the last week of 2024.

❤❤❤❤❤

Mercy, mercy me.🌠

Thank you for this poem. We shared it today in church. Thank you for helping people learn to live from natural causes.

I wish I knew a way to not see these maga creeps as my enemies. The hats are modern-day Klan robes, Nazi uniforms, symbols of would-be oppressors. How can they bear to send that message to other humans? Who hurt them? A friend just turned me on to your poetry, Andrea. It is beautiful & moving. Sending you light & hugs. Hope you are well & strong now.

I love ya indefinitely

😢😍❤

You are pathetic n weak Face death many times Never been attacking people Ever i live the the er / hospital they tell I roll the dice Tell i needed buy an lottery ticket Glad to see back again U r literally hit 22 and bust

Holy trinity???? God son ghost Not Nonbinary

🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Maga ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

my first and strongest poetry love............... i am the maga hat in the chemo room. I love you, and I love you, and I love you.

Long story, short: ❤

you are such a huge force in my life and have been since i was young, thank you for your words <3 always sending love

When I say I believe in magic, I mean I believe in myself, to find my way home by a path that hasn't been walked by anyone else.

Wow

Beautiful

I just heard this for the first time on Nov. 10th, 2024. It so so beautifully sums up the tangled and heavy mess of thoughts and emotions that have been swirling inside me, especially for the last four days.

Thank you! From the bottom of my heart

Uhh, narcissism

Im still here in 2024 🥺

Here after the second trump win, crying again.

I love you so so much. ❤

My apologies for not knowing who Andrea Gibson is prior to tonight. How does this only have 117k views?!? The words are soul crushing but I needed to hear it. These words are hallowed and have cut me deep on a level not much gets me anymore. I have been running from my feelings for 5 years because i am scared of the pain.

❤

I don't know if you are into poetry...? I know you are into trees. That's half way there. I wasn't expecting that 😂

Your words are more beautiful than I have words to express.

This is so beautiful, I can feel it warm in my heart ❤️ thank you so much Andrea ❤️ thank you

So good, so very sweet… thank you for sharing 🎉

🖤😭

Here in 2024. I remember when this first came out. Andrea really touched my heart from the beginning... back in the day when I identified as a lesbian. And still to this day after coming out as a trans man. I love Andrea's work. I will keep coming back to this as long as its available to watch. ❤

Amazing ♥️♥️♥️♥️💪🏻🙌🏻

I ❤ this!!

I watched this after my beautiful Salem crossed the Rainbow Bridge. My heart was broken far beyond repair but Andrea you helped me get through it

Your love is contagious. I bawled with joy while I listened to you read this. Thanks for sharing you.

You may not have cried this take, but I have ❤️ I've been revisiting your work, my inspirations, as I pursue a degree in creative writing. Thank you so, so much for your vulnerability and beautiful words.

Your brain is wonderful . The way you think is beautiful. And your soul has such levity even in darkness. I hope you and your loves are OK.

"My beating heart, with fur and legs."❤

my darling andrea, how i adore you. i carry you in my heart as you journey forward. i, too, sat in chemotherapy rooms being treated for breast cancer some 18 years ago. expect a miracle dear one. sending LOVE. this piece was absolutely brilliant!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

The last couple of years were really tough on me. I felt like the was a big ocean of nothingness and uncertainty in front of me. I was so ashamed of not knowing my path when so many of my friends had already found theirs. I find it hard to put it all into words here but I guess what I want you to know is this: you're poetry is my lighthouse it always shows me the way home. Thank you with all my heart.

“You don’t just see people at their best; you see people at the best they haven’t been yet.” 😭🥹😭🥹 ….it’s gonna take an ice pick to break apart this lump in my throat…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I appreciate your testimony. Your message is helping me grow up and finally act like an adult... I'm 58 years old. I'm saving this so I can reflect on it until I get this down in my soul! I put my trust in God and when I ask Him for help in any area of my life He sends me an answer. Today He answered with YOU. I pray for your healing and no residual. In Jesus' Name 🙏🏾

Your politics are not your soul. That's insane

Imagine going through life with all this pollution running through your brain and rotting your soul and thinking somehow you are morally superior for believing it all.

Breathless ❤
