Bring Back Yesterday

Bring Back Yesterday

A Poem by Brandon Mathis

If I could bring back yesterday

There are so many things I would change

Things would finally go my way

I would take back what I had said

So what am I afraid of?

Let’s go change the past, at last

 

Where would I start?

How I would I do it at all?

If were to fall

Would I change the future?

How much would I obscure?

Or would I be trapped?

With no way out

With every locked door

And I forgot what I was here for

 

Maybe it was something that I missed

Maybe there was one more kiss

The answers underneath my skin

And I can’t find the itch

Where should I begin?

At the start or at the end

So here we go let’s erase all of our sins

 

I don’t want to see tomorrow

Can we stay here with-out any sorrow?

I took yesterday just to burrow

You can have it back

I realize that I don’t need to change the past

One more thing. Why don't you try to get out of your comfort zone? 'Coz it seems like you've been used to using only the simple language. Try making some defamiliariazation of words/lines. For example: instead of saying "I wrote a poem", try saying "I dipped my brush into a bowlful of words and painted a poem",,,Imagistic, eh?
Also, try to work on making your poems show rather than tell. (=

NIce!
Just a suggestion. Why don't you try to use some words which would let the readers see. Your poem would be better if it shows rather than tells. Make it sound more poetic by having a shift from simple to deeper language. I just noticed in your poems that the language is so simple. However, your works are still good, but you can also make them better.
Good work.(=

well it's quite true that we want to change or erase some of our actions of "Yesterday".....but yes we must realise that changing the past can do nothing as it has already gone.so we must always try to make a better future....because when we would go back in the past to change something.we wold lost our way there because e would find fault in so many things that we've done....

i liked this line the most.......i should say that i would definitely read out this poem in my school(if you don't mind)in the competition..i wish i would have read this when i took part in the elocution competition few months ago.it's worth reading......

don’t want to see tomorrow
Can we stay here with-out any sorrow?
I took yesterday just to burrow
You can have it back
I realize that I don’t need to change the past

THE LAST STANZA IS SORELY TRUE.........

HATS OFF TO YOU..
KEEP WRITING LIKE THIS.....
