Sleeping

[@Simplekindofbeauty]

No matter how many times I hear this it amazes me still.

[@straightpartpede]

Andrea Gibson. Her poems always twist my heart into knots, so beautifully heartbreaking. I'm headed to Afghanistan for my first tour next month. This poem and "For Eli" are so frightfully intriguing, they definitely strike a chord of wonder for the future in me.

[@kaimoore6835]

I've heard this poem so many times but never does it lose it's meaning

[@amethystXatmosphere]

My uncle died in Vietnam too. I cried so hard at this. Andrea is such a beautiful human being.

[@AjaEmo]

No matter how many times I watch this, it makes me cry every time. It's beautiful.

[@supermanbatman43]

[@AcreletaeDnD]

Some day I'll be half the poet she is, and I'll be more that proud of myself. Gods, she's amazing.

[@joshuagraff611]

ive listen to this more then ten times and cried each time.

[@ItinerantTara]

I have chills. How does she do this to me with every word??

[@Bananastroodle]

"When the sand in the desert has been melted down to glass and our reflection isn't something we can stand to look at does the white flag make for a perfect blindfold?" Gets me every time.

[@ReemerariusCH57]

[@ZomgXdooM]

cold chills proves how much beauty when into this

[@liyah95221]

The words just come out of her. She giving me chill

[@kittymarie397]

She seems like me. Not entirely knowing what to say until the poem starts and then it flows like a river from the heart

[@Mudkip3000]

When she talked about how long flowers could survive in the hands of thieves during the end, and how it had so much more meaning, the meaning of lost innocence, I just lost it.

[@CiaMakesMoves]

How It Ends - just watched it, and that was my favorite line lol

[@desireeretzlaff2311]

[@athenatheshewolf]

[@neonsquirrelz3]

When she said the part about how 80% of soldiers cant bring themselves to kill an enemy soldier while they were sleeping, my stomach clenched. This is truly amazing.

[@funcky4real101]

She make's me feel, and really think about life.

CHILLS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.

[@BloodLoveWritr]

It always takes her a long time to start reading a poem that hurts... It's like she's swallowing a pill on a dry throat and it hurts to get it down... I don't think I could do it.

[@beccaross4409]

F is even more finished with g. I am a comedy queen.

[@stuckinfantasyland]
