#too poems on Hello Poetry

Bryce Nov 2018

It is all fake sadness
Without cups, no sprite to collect the rains
We are an endless rolling fog
on the edge of the terrain.

We are foxes living in the suburbs
we are sneaky creatures not meant for fluorescent light-bulbs
and streetlamps
We are the oldest vulpines alive

I had been asked about symbology-- about flags and shapes and geometric plagues
I had to recollect the places in my head, London was a dime, Berlin was a teeter-totter
U.S.A was a great big long balloon snake

There wasn't anything left to say in the barbershop,
the razor blades dully buzzing,
no songs but the buzzing
of satellite radio

I got a removal done,
my deforested head could feel the wind caress it
I was a new and reemerged cocoon with a lacking self-confidence
I studied books and computers at Best Buy

You were a yet unknown quantity
you were god in the skies of San Ramon Valley High
Or perhaps the other prestige of some other village dream
You emerged and contained within the largest fib

Give me one good reason why
You deserve any more of god than the earth.

thinking too much

how can i tell you that i'm still broken?
that i'm not put back together yet?
how can i say that i'm hurting
when there's nothing there to even hurt me?
how can i let you in
when i'm afraid you won't like what i have to give?
how can i say that i'm a raging ocean
i do not want you to drown in?
how do i say that all i will ever be is a mess?
and that's not something i want you to witness.
how do i say that i'm scared?

there is no deeper meaning. no hidden message. stop trying to read between the lines.

this poem is just about a bakeshop.
no allegories
no symbolisms
no idioms
no metaphors.

mother kneads the dough.
she does it so well.
pounding the white clay
with such masterful effort
her hands do not tire.
neither tires her arms.
neither her thighs tremble.
neither her smile
it charms.

mother had been standing there
untiringly since dawn.
and yet she does not stop.

it has been raining incessantly
ever since she woke up
and yet she does not stop.

not even a single costumer appeared
not a single knock on the door
and yet she does not stop.

daughter asked her out already
daughter asked her to close the shop

daughter always says
and with a lot of sense
watching mother work
simply is not worth
the miniscule sells

yet still she does not stop.

daughter asks mother
far too much.
she asks why mother is always smiling
she asks why mother works hard as such
she asks why mother why it was always raining

daughter asks mother
why no one is waiting at the counter?
daughter then followed
where is brother and father?
and finally daughter asks
why no one, for their shop, would bother?

to which mother just replied
"let us simply pray for better weather"

don't try to find an analysis
you wom't gain anything from asking anything
this is
the most blatant poem
you will read ever
just look at the title.

"but hey,why don't you
ever look back?" "Because then
I would never Leave."

haiku
I want you to remember that even though you never look back, I'm always watching you go.

I try too hard

I don't know where to begin,
Your eyes show me what I am missing,
They're deep, dark, mysterious
And I must be delirious,
If I think I've got a shot at this

I try too hard, and you cower away
I try not to care, but you're stuck in my brain
I try to play it cool, but you're hotter than I can handle

I Surrender

There is no more happiness
Only the pain
Exist without meaning
I'm trapped in my brain

Each day brings a struggle
I don't want to meet
A white flag; I surrender
Accept my defeat

waiting aimlessly for a text
a text from you...
i guess you are tired of me
ignoring me
not talking to me
looks like you have given up on me
always having to put up with me
are you unhappy?
please tell me
don’t just leave me
giving me high hopes
then bringing me down
you know that i love you right?
or maybe you are doubting that
but please don’t leave me
i need you
i want you
and i... love you

sigh i love you pls stop doing dis to me
