It’s been 11 years since I first heard this poem. It saved my life again tonight.
I’m so glad you’re still with us.
Live live live!
This poem saved me from suicide so many times
"no-one wants to hear you cry about the grief inside your bones" FUCK!!! at this point I couldn't hold back the tears because this is what my depression tells me every day, so much so that I believe it now
"When I hit bottom it started hitting back." NAH!!!!! This broke my heart and healed it right back. This was amazing.
This poem had me pouring my eyes out at three in the morning and it reminded me that recovery is good and that it doesn't mean you failed your eating disorder.
I discovered this when I was 14. I can never express my gratitude enough.
I must have watched them perform this poem in half a dozen different video but I'm a woman with simple pleasures: I see an Andrea video, I click
No matter how many times I watch her perform this, I always cry! It hits home! And she does such a beautiful job!
I had the honor of seeing her do this poem live and it was just so powerful!
Why doesn't CZcams allow you to 'Love' a video????
I love the way they had held onto every single word as if they too were reminding themselves to learn now to live again and I swear I clicked this video at the right timing because I've been feeling like trash all day and I needed all of their words.
Hey everyone commenting! Please make sure you use they/them/their pronouns for Andrea!!!
thanks for letting people know! I'm glad i read your comment before i made mine!
Can anyone tell me why we can't say 'she', she is a girl not?
I don’t think they identify as either
She*
@@amy923s because this person is non binary. Non binarys are people who are emotionally and quite physically if you look closely, are not male or female in particular. You mention people like that with "they" or "them" since both he/she does not work in this case.
one of my all time favorites, so many lines hit home I have to pause and take a deep breath a few times during every listen
"When I thought I hit bottom it started hitting back" Oh my lord
I've heard this poem so many times and every time I am still speechless. They have such a way with words. I needed this right now. Thank you.
I keep coming back to this poem. It gets me through tough times.
I learned the version of this poem in her book when I felt broken and kept repeating it over and over to myself. I'm so glad now to hear it in full.
plastic_orchid Andrea uses they pronouns!
how can she talk so flawlessly I'm
lil nosebleed Andrea uses they/them pronouns :)
Georgia Bartlett-McNeil I saw people commenting "she" but I guess they are wrong,thanks for telling me✨✨
i can't even talk properly without stuttering
She's been doing this for years
They were able to finally crack my heart so I could feel and cry the pain inside. I love them!
I always listen to this poem when the darkness gets too much
Such a beautiful call for living despite the despair! Thank you, Andrea!
Love this poem. Watching it performed makes it 10 times better.
i've always loved this poem. i'm finally connecting the dots on my past traumas and mental health challenges and this poem has gained so much more significance for me. i am so grateful, thank you
This person has saved my life with her words and bravery. They are so beautiful. Thank you Andrea
I am a simple woman, i see a new video with Andrea's poetry, i give a thumbs up 💕
Their album is great and everyone should listen to it.
Joseph G Andrea prefers they/them pronouns
edited! Thanks for letting me know! :)
what album? button poetry?
Andrea Gibson's. it's called Truce
I was not in a good place the first time I heard this poem and I remember the phrase "let me say right now for the record, I'm still gonna be here." I love rewatching this from a completely different place. It gets better
No matter how many times I watch this video it still hits me just as hard
years later this is still my favorite poem, i got the words "my bones said write the poem" tattooed on my wrist
i still cry every time i hear this. thank you andrea
When in the end she said "take care of yourselves and each other" I fell in love with her more than I already had. 💜💜
This poem makes me not want to commit suicide anymore. I come back to it whenever I feel suicidal 🥲
Don't ❤
When I see Andrea Gibson in a new video I can’t help but watch and then I forget to breathe and just listen to the words. Beautiful.
I will always be blown away by how they not only put into words what people need to hear but also how they present the poem on stage...they are poetry if poetry could be a person
Tears. Just tears.
This saved me today, yet again
Andrea Gibson saves lives.
Every time she takes a breath and we can hear it clearly they hit my heart
thank you, andrea. this poem has come to me many times over the years to bring me comfort and hope.
I wish I had heard this when I was a teenager, traumatized and feeling beyond any hope… but even still, even now, there are just some days that drag me back down, but these words have crawled into me right beside my heart for when I need them again.
i heard they r making another album and im excited
funkymonkey892 Andrea prefers they/them pronouns
Sent this to every one of my friends who I know have felt the same as me, and to everyone I've helped save from suicide and wish I could send it, so much, to all the people I couldn't, or was so young I didn't. I've watched it many times, and will continue to.
Thank you
this poem is insanely powerful
Full chills
I need a little book of all their poetry to carry around with me damn
This poem is my favourite. It makes me so sad that it is so relevant. Thank you Andrea. Thank you.
They redid The Madness Vase with a new name!!! I personally prefer the other one since it didn't feel rushed. I've been in love with this poem for years now. I still do.
I so love what she said at the end ❤️❤️

Thr end was so powerful
Goodness me they know how to really open up a locked box of truths and give them space. They are so gifted.
I’m seeing Andrea live in San Francisco this spring. I’m so looking forward to it. I haven’t been able to find a high quality version of them preforming this poem before. Thank you for sharing.

We're gonna write our own spoken poem tomorrow in English and the topic is forgiveness. What should my tone be? Solemn or like trying to prove a point by being a bit loud?
Andrea's poems slay me
Brilliant
Oh my God 😭😭😭😭😭
Sheer magnificence.
I use to listen to all her poems!!! I knew it was her by just seeing her face😂😂 she’s amazing!!!!
Nick Price Andrea uses they pronouns!
Ashley Lister 😂 shit sorry, didn’t know
GottDamn!!!!!! "when I thought I hit bottom, it started hitting back"
You stay here with me, friend. ❤️
I love this do they have any other poems?
Heads up: Andrea prefers they/them pronouns. But yes, they have a lot of other great poems on Button (my personal favourite is "Photoshopping My Sister's Mugshot") :)
Butterfly Taster okay! Thx I’ll make sure I change it
They also have multiple books out and audio recordings of those books as well.
This is so damn powerful
I adore you!
I just bought your books. You've inspired me to pick up my pen to empty my heavy heart.
Damn !!!
It’s called the madness vase !!
I have been there. "Continuing to fight. Next time I come out of my skin..." Powerful, suicide's battle cry against ending it all, live, live, live. I keep breathing, so I will keep trying.
