Remember, you didn’t come here to write your heart out. You came to write it in.
Andrea GibsonI have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside
Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside
Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a falling house
But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing
What I know about living is the pain is never just ours
Every time I hurt I know the wound is an echo
So I keep a listening to the moment the grief becomes a window
When I can see what I couldn’t see before,
through the glass of my most battered dream, I watched a dandelion lose its mind in the wind
and when it did, it scattered a thousand seeds.
So the next time I tell you how easily I come out of my skin, don’t try to put me back in
just say here we are together at the window aching for it to all get better
But when I thought I hit bottom, it started hitting back.
Andrea GibsonSomeday we will dare
to trade good for true
I started wishing on the stars in the sky instead.
I said to the sun, tell me about the big bang.
The sun said, ‘It hurts to become.
I wanna know what you see
when you look in the mirror
on a day you’re feeling good.
I wanna know what you see
when you look in the mirror
on a day you’re feeling bad.
I wanna know the first person
who taught you your beauty
could ever be reflected
on a lousy piece of glass.
...It’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.
When your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and pray for rain.
Andrea GibsonEveryone’s chest
is a living room wall
with awkwardly placed photographs
hiding fist-shaped holes.
