"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!!!!!!!
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..."
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.
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
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...
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.
@ClaireseLippincott This just goes to show "how powerful we are". As poets we have the power to scare the crap out of you, to say something so true and yet so frightening to your "belief". I help my father work as a counselor at the rescue mission in my city. And a majority of the men we talk to are veterans who have nowhere to go. As a soldier I am lucky that when I went "home" I had one to go to. It's not about whether it all says something to you, it's about that one part that does.
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
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.
She is absolutely beautiful.
Just so you know, Andrea uses they/them pronouns.
All this and the girl can sing too???? Can't take all this awesome!!!!!!!
I didn't realise something as simple as saying yes could make me feel so passionate...
And this is why I write. I could only dream of being half as good as Andrea Gibson. She's just amazing.
"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 love andrea gibson! you are love! we are love we are life!
I never get tired of hearing Andrea. Brilliant. I can't believe I didn't know she existed before last month.
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.
I would do anything to see her in person. All her poems leave me speechless
my hat goes off to andrea, truly, she is amazing and wonderful and deserves only praise for her brilliant poems and amazing performances
WHO would dislike this?? Perfection!
if anyone could speak about life and truth and paint a mural with their words, it's definately this woman.

WOW... CANNOT... JUST.. SPEECHLESS.

"To give a skeleton to all these feelings I have inside ". I think you're all ready there. 💙
I have goosebumps. She is beyond amazing. Inspiration. Perfection.
Her words give me life
She is beauty
Does anyone know Andreas pronouns?
Remember that you have your own unique Gift to bring; tap into her depth and find your way!

How can you NOT like Andrea Gibson? She's fucking fantastic.
The greatest speech ever told. Charlie Chaplin.
Words cannot express how much respect I have for this woman.
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.
I just love her.
she is so beautiful and incredible
She spoke my soul
I cried for 12:43. Her pieces were truly beautiful. It was an honor to have heard her words.
I can't listen to her without getting chocked up and emotional. So beautiful.
Perfect way to start my morning and get my mind working on something bigger then how to straighten my hair correctly. She's truly amazing.
Love her to much
I worship you...
Thank you for reminding me what the spoken word is capable of doing.
This is simply beautiful
She is amazing
I love the shiver that ripples up and down my body, leaving my hair standing on end, when I listen to her.
I can't believe I might have lived my whole life without hearing this.
I'm glad this made you happy :)
She is truly amazing. Truly Truly. I love the words she speaks. Her words are so true.
both were so beautiful that tears welled up in my eyes. Probably one of my favorite spoken word poets.
I used to think that music needed background music but I was wrong, this is music, this is inspiration, this is art
I just went through admiration, tears, and all-out no-stops joy. Thank you.
this is so powerful--so moving---so amazing. thank you! Tears to my eyes.
I have rewatched this so many times now
i swear i'm in love with this woman
This was so amazing.. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
I love Andrea Gibson so much. Amazing.
How beautiful thank you
The entire thing was pure brilliance ! My personal favorite sentences that she spoke 2:57 onwards
I love this performance. Love, love, love.
YES!!!
o.m.s. love every one of her poems so far.
I like her style of performing , i think its something i would do
Say Yes.
The first poem is Say Yes, the second is For Eli, and the third is I Do.
Love love love this!!!!
Love Love Love you!!!
Incredible
um in love!
so beautiful such an inspiration! WOW
I like to do spoken word poem also but the more i listen to your poems the more i want to be a listening and don't even want to think of becoming one.
