When the Bough Breaks 

Holy fuck. *Standing ovation*

I cry after listening to every single one of her poems, and each time I experience a new emotion, and a new perspective on something I hadn't given much thought to. She's amazing.

"I am frantically hiding my scars 'cause the last thing I want these kids to know is that I ever thought that my life was too hard" I. That line. Speechless.

this poem may save my life tonight.

"Doctor, our insanity is not that we see people who aren't there, it's that we ignore the ones who are" perfection.

I was eating goldfish while watching this video. But soon enough, I got chills traveling up my spine. And my goldfish fell out of my open mouth. I just sat frozen until the video ended. The power of this poem is like woah.

damn this one seriously hit home and i love it so much

"The math's not on my side, 10 stitches and one lie. I swear I wasn't trying to die, I just wanted to see what my pulse looked like from the inside." Whoa.

My favorite poem of all time, so fucking powerful

Wow amazing, would've like to go to this. Maybe next time I hope. Andrea Gibson is an amazing poet!

I love her!

I'm really close to tears

I am speechless. This is incredibly beautiful.

omg this is beautiful

I'm sitting here, crying on my keyboard, wondering, "So if I'm not the only one that notices this...why don't we change it?"

So fucking good.

incredible omg I cant

You are incredible.

love it, you are brilliant and you seek to change this physical plane through your best work of art, your life. I cannot think of a life better lived, but I am not above this life, so I am not an expert by any means. Maybe one day?

She used a line from a Thich Nhat Hanh poem. "Call Me By My True Names."

Wow.

THIS REMINDS ME OF A HIGH SCHOOL TALENT SHOW.IT MUST BE AMATEUR HOUR THIS GUY IS HORRENDOUS .PEOPLE PAY MONEY TO SEE THIS .YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.THIS GUY WOULD HAVE TO PAY ME TO LISTEN TO HIS OWN RHETORIC

Go away, troll. You couldn't dream of writing poetry this good.

i'm sad the top comments are defending why this is something good to say

L O L

poets will save the world...or just document it...

Histories in a rant, the only way to excite while flying, two coffees again please waitress time everything that occurs, she's driving crazy, this one!

I think you are shooting for Drag KING. That is when a female dresses as a male. Drag QUEEN is when a male dresses as a female. But either way, she is neither. She is herself. She is great. Now enjoy the damn poem.

The diction, fair!

dont care if its been a year, this proud outspoken woman would be good enough to turn the other cheek then write about it, because she could write two words and make them sing, you insult an entire language.

dude, have you ever met a drag queen?

is that supposed to be an insult?

Ah, she is so attractive :') am jealous of her partner :/

She's not a drag queen. And even if she was, whats wrong with that?

lol do you know what a drag queen is? HAHAHAHA

@braxtonweiss6 ah i see you have no taste in actual art and are one of the close minded people that need sincere help. If you don't like her don't listen to her but at least respect good art when you see it.

Have you ever seen a drag queen? Apparently not. If you had, you would notice Andrea Gibson is far from a drag queen.

Now if only anyone genuinely cared about what you think. If only you held some importance or position of relevance in the world...

Kind of the opposite..

Drama queen.
