Heart-wrenching, truthful, and beautiful. You will go far in life if you keep voicing your feelings; and eventually people will have no choice but to listen.

John 3:16 &quot;For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.&quot;

We can show love and compassion through Jesus Christ, who cared for us more than Himself! John 3:16 ;)

&quot;The winter I told you icicles are magic, you stole an enormous icicle from my neighbors shingle, and gave it to me as a gift, I kept it in my freezer for seven months. Love isn&#039;t always magic, sometimes it&#039;s melting.&quot; -Andrea Gibson

Then you should know how great you are since her name popped into my head with your poem. Girl, you are amazing. Keep doing what you're doing! :) And I am extremely jealous that you saw her live. Take me with you next time?!!!

You are a very beautiful person. Have you heard of Andrea Gibson? (if not, look up madness vase and her name) You remind me a lot of her. You're fluent and you speak with so much emotion. You are my inspiration to be better. Thank you.

I love this. You are very talented, and I really respect you. As another person said, slow down a little. But I like how you speed up at times and you're slow other times.

I am touched.
