More quotes by Andrea Gibson
None of us are pretty, but our ugly has an alibi.
Andrea Gibson
You panic button collector. You clock of beautiful ticks. You run out the door if you need to. You flock to the front row of your own class. You feather everything until you know you can always, always shake like a leaf on my family tree and know you belong here. You belong here and everything you feel is okay. Everything you feel is okay.
Andrea Gibson
Remember, you didn’t come here to write your heart out. You came to write it in.
Andrea Gibson

Andrea Gibson
This is my body. It is no one's but mine.
Andrea Gibson
My heart is a parachute that has never opened in time.
Andrea Gibson
I’ve written this poem before but always through a window, never through an open door.
Andrea Gibson
Yes, I like girls Yes, I like boys I like boys who like boys I like girls who wear toys and girls who don't I like girls who don't call themselves girls Crew cuts or curls or that really bad hair phase in between.
Andrea Gibson
You can stand on the cliff of my heart and shout nothing but ‘ugly’ through me. I promise all I will echo back is ‘Beauty, beauty, you have always been beauty
Andrea Gibson
...And for every day you paint the war, take a week and paint the beauty, the color, the shape of the landscape you’re marching towards. Everyone knows what you’re against show them what you’re for.
Andrea Gibson
We all have bullets beneath our skin we pray our lovers won't flinch at when they find.
