Tucker Bryant - Facts About Myself

"I believe there is nothing more autobiographical than a scar, so every time I see the barcode I carved into my skin I read a story of a battle I win every day"

[@ilyjesus07]

'maybe heaven is not something we need to die to get to'

[@destinyheath6583]

Mikka Ella I think this every time I see my son. ❤️

[@tomrussell7372]

Destiny Heath i agree with that statement the only difference is me watching my 4 kids grow

[@trevanwillowbuffiii9624]

Mikka Ella heaven is a metaphor for an unrealistic ambition to never feel pain and always rest in absolute security.

[@yello.universe4164]

Destiny Heath Aww💕💕

[@cpoterry]

"...A heart the size of a fist that didn't learn to love itself till it gave itself a beating..." Never in this life have I heard a work of writing so perfectly reflecting a connection to the life I've lived and the story I hope one day tell. This is divine, outstanding work!!

[@mrstayup36s]

Wow every time I watch one of these poem videos, I think to myself "why even watch another one, none are going to be as good as the last one" and every time I'm wrong. This was simply life changing

[@totalweirdo8538]

Joe Cool And yet, even when you go back to the first, the cycle continues.

[@ashleymcguire2995]

"a righteous heart inside a male body is just a gun with the safety left on" DEEP.

[@MissRachealRainbow]

"I'm so sick I got depression scared to catch me" was a great line. This poem was amazing

[@alliblackman5020]

I just wanted to listen to a dam poem, not fall in love. uuuuuuurgh...

[@ILoveFlowers45]

That's always been my problem 😫😫😫

[@amiradd7007]

😂😂 I was thinking the same thing

[@werrewolvesrock]

I feel you

[@kailsk1090]

+Allison B (Alli-Bee) RIGHT! ugggh

[@MsChenel]

my thoughts exactly, it's the women's nature i guess?

[@amaliaboura8482]

From the moment i saw him i thought he was attractive but as he continued talking he became more and more attractive!!! :) beautilul soul

[@amoymyers2366]

you should listen to his other poems!!

[@pauldavies3056]

+Amalia Boura I found his self righteous act a complete facade which got more nauseating as he continued.

[@andrewsokulski8922]

"Be full of so much light, yet still be hungry for more." Great job bro~

[@rochellelilieth3206]

god, I love this guy, and it goes far beyond physical attractiveness - it's something with the way he speaks

[@Twixx]

i'm 5'6 so that "Being built like a short story is a lesson in finding other ways to be the tallest tale in the room" hit home!!

[@vanessalynn4887]

Right! That one hit home for me!

[@amyc8908]

He must be inspired by Rudy Francisco (reminds me so much of his 'Honest Poem')

[@dominique4432]

lol I stopped 15 seconds in looking for a comment like this

[@tata7220]

+Dominique Sweeney likewise lol

[@idksomethingnifty111]

true, like some of the lines are exactly the same...

[@idksomethingnifty111]

maybe they had a collaboration of some sort? and even if this was posted before, maybe they didn't perform according to the dates these were posted

[@idksomethingnifty111]

Adam Shaw Ah, that makes sense, and i completely agree with wanting to be optimistic and giving every option a chance. I understand that i may have come off in an accusing manor, so i apologize about the misunderstanding there.

[@paulinazelikowicz9122]

I didn't know what part to quote because every line was FUCKING PERFECT.

[@lilzy89]

"What a wonderful way to live life, to be so full of so much light but always hungry for more".

[@riddhir.s.1493]

some facts about myself I'm 21 years old I'm right-handed I hate my middle name I don't eat goats cheese I still don't have a driver's license and for as long as I can remember I've been really into good ramen and bad puns I believe there are only two kinds of people in the world those who admit they've ever peed in the shower and Liars I'm not religious my faith in God died when my godmother did but a few months ago I saw my nephew's face for the first time and now I can't help but think that maybe heaven is not something we need to die to get to I go to an elite college which means I know the most profitable way to ship food from factory to supermarket but I don't know the middle names of any of the women who cook my lunch every day I'm the son of a man who never misses a home-cooked meal or skips his dishwashing duties the son of a woman told me that my name is an earthquake and waiting she said holds it in your mouth like the most dangerous secret this world is yet to know I'm only five foot eight on a really good day but being built like a short story is a lesson in finding other ways to be the tallest tale in the room I don't know what it means to be a man and for a while I thought the weight room could tell me but I four stories of men with shotgun barrels for arms who use their bodies as weapons I've seen them shoot their mouths off and leave bullet holes and women's spirits my sisters say that they raised me to be a good guy but have a set of knuckles swollen with the memory of teeth and blood and I'm still learning to unlearn my own violence reminded every day that a righteous heart inside a male body is just a gun with a safety left on and I know boys we're still searching for the manhood inside bottles bank accounts and between nameless hips boys who remote-control their partners because they're not strong enough to let things go I know that men carry an addiction to property in our blood now when I was a kid I shopped lifted things I didn't need or want just to feel like there was something in this world that I could own I don't know most beautiful thing about love is that it cannot be owned some days I'm still the 13 year old stomach origami folds on itself every time Laura Stevenson walks past his lunch table and I don't watch much TV these days but I'm still a Nickelodeon kid at heart so if you asked me who loves orange soda I will tell you I've broken more of my own bones and promises in my life and I'm still not sure but it's been more painful to heal I have a heart the same size of the fist I didn't find self-love until I gave myself a beating but I was the tree that fell in a forest when no one else was looking and dared to make a sound I'm the meal that this thing called depression has spent seven years trying to devour from the inside out I'm living proof that that motherfucker bit off more than he could chew I believe there's nothing more autobiographical than a scar so every time see there remains the barcodes I've carved into my skin I read a story of a battle I win every day I used to wake up breathless when anxiety was deadly but now I'm so sick I've got the prescience scared to catch me I'm both black and boy which means that I'm the knife that threatens to slit the neck of silence and make everything bleed song I am song I know that nothing can die that cannot be resurrected by music and that the dance floor is the safest place to be during the apocalypse I know all of this I'm still figuring out how to hold on to this helium balloon called happiness they've got charisma down to a science but most days I still have less confidence than English weather but I'm learning everyday what it means to be human without being whole every night the sky opens its mouth and swallows the Sun in a single gulp just to make room for the moon it what a wonderful way to live life to be so full of so much light but always hungry for more you

[@TsukikoLuna26]

thank you!

[@riyaswaroop2872]

Thank you :')

[@aoifebyrne3845]

"I didn't find self love until I gave myself a beating" wowwww

[@raenaraebel2801]

Am I the only one who's really curious of his middle name?

[@TheEmilyFravel]

Nope.

[@PeachPlastic]

I even true to Google it (nothing came up (lol))

[@supmynameisunknown]

he’s hiding it cause his mom told him to

[@adanma5499]

legend goes no one knows

[@kait958]

he is my favorite. I can't get enough of him. beautiful.

[@tonyatemple4657]

You've given me some hope in overcoming depression, from now on I'm just going to think about being the sky...so full of light but still hungry for more. thank you for this

[@scarlettrey123]

I came back because it was a year ago this poem was uploaded and I'm still not disappointed

[@xpuffinn9747]

Hot guys + Good Poems. Today was a great day.

[@harmonydevaney9630]

same

[@dejarayvon1604]

Hot guys who write are always the worse ones. They’re emotionally unavailable and they’ll break your heart.

[@vote4padro521]

I agree😊

[@cordat2767]

xPuffinn 😂😂😂😂

[@jonathanbullock5788]

I’ve never had the words this beautiful soul speaks, I do have the swollen and scarred body and all the tears! Thank you for this!

[@gsanjana7]

I loved the fact that he didn't make it too dramatic! Superb! I paid attention to what he said instead of his body language.

[@maddyblake1052]

have you ever had a friendship crush on someone? like you want a hard core platonic friendship with someone? I have a friendship crush on this man.

[@starboypluto]

Honestly

[@madieferosi]

my friend calls those “squishes” lmao

[@taurusbabyyyy]

My heart was touched, he was raised with honesty, and with a good mindset even though he fell off along away. Everyone has. His humor with how he write reminds me how real poems are.

[@YungJay0]

I just unliked this video 5yrs later just to like it again. Still brings me to tears ❤

[@ausman6238]

How could anyone with a soul dislike this poem?

[@harmonydevaney9630]

I have no words but perfect.

[@ekeomaezeh381]

"Now I am so sick, I make depression scared to catch me." *snaps*

[@amyle1408]

His poems never fall short. Ever. Amazing. Again, I hear a little Rudy Francisco in this.

[@asseater0077]

I don't know what I'm more in love with him or the poem

[@Sad-iced-coffee]

Marina

[@emmerzianthimendemutenya2606]

thats my son

[@franzi482]

This is so peaceful

[@LearnTwiwithEfiaBAE]

"what a wonderful way to live life to be so full of so much light but always hungry for more you"

[@CGPCreativity]

I come back to this every year so and get stuck on replay.... man , the feels.

[@bridgethayes1711]

I've heard so many poems in my life but this, is by far the best. It touches you where you thought you could always protect. The place you thought nobody new you kept hidden, but we all have that place and you didn't just scrape the surfus. You dug to the very bottom. Congratulations. I hope this piece resonates with people in a similar way it did with me

[@ellief4277]

Mentioning about the little things such as how you don't know the middle names of the women who cook your lunch... That's the small thinking that is so much bigger than one can ever portray in poetry or words so that others, on different thought levels, will ever comprehend them. Beautiful...

[@Itsjustafloralwreathe]

I loved when he twisted the old," If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?" Saying❤️

[@MeggyPeggy9779]

wow I am blown away this poem and his presentation of it is so beautiful!

[@vanahlovesu]

my heart races everytime i hear his voice

[@harmonydevaney9630]

same!!

[@HandsomeJezdaNikki]

The end got me. This was all wonderful but the end made me cry. So very wonderful!

[@smartcanbepretty]

That was absolutely beautiful and emotional and perfect

[@EmleeLikesTurtles]

Still listen to this regularly 2 years on. Powerful.

[@vchongg]

Absolutely speechless. His choice of words and delivery was immaculate 💕

[@whitneyfitzgerald4212]

*Groans* SO good. I want to hear everything you've written.

[@boyswhopray]

i love how simple his words are but how poetic they make one feel

[@leesya9802]

I could fall for someone like this

[@CaloobianMongoose]

Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you, Tucker.

[@sarahelizabeth675]

Where can I sign up to marry this man

[@mthefangirl4956]

Sarah Elizabeth where can I sign up to even just be in his vicinity

[@pouriruru6629]

So. Many. Emotions. Gaaaaahhh!!! I'm crying

[@joelleelaine1284]

it wasn't halfway through this poem I really felt a connection to your words. It was the last couple lines that left me in tears. Beautiful, thank you

[@larrythelatypus]

"..in between nameless hips.." I loved this part of the poem

[@HorseRidinBbe11]

being built like a short story is a lesson in being the tallest tale in the room wow. love it

[@livbrooks4194]

Such intellect and power. Much love ❤️

[@KimKla]

I love this so much I can't put it to words...

[@Jacky18beauty]

amazing, poetry is the power of words, words that make sense and make you think deeply, words that describe emotions, emotions that can't be seen only felt and what's more delightful than trying to imaging a feeling. Creativeness, poetry, art!

[@aaronique33]

I've listened to this at least 100 times...

[@sarapaolella9694]

It was beautiful. Every single word was so perfect and his voice is so soothing, I really loved this poem

[@marilynson9088]

Its 2017.... I literally watched this video first and watched every other poem he has created because of this piece.

[@amymae5744]

I have been looking for this poem for two weeks now... I heard it once before and thought of just how beautiful the line about “maybe heaven is not a place we need to die to get to” was... my niece is now four months old and by that same date I was five months relapse free. I know there’s nothing like a mother’s love for a child but there is a unique bond between aunts/uncles and their nieces/nephews. I personally haven’t experienced anything better. And so now I’m trying to BE better- for her. 💕

[@TreyDubya]

Finished the video and let out a "WOW!" Way to go, Tucker.

[@nonanaqueenXD]

Okay but that was beautiful and so is he.

[@xkenmasswitchx]

you are a beautiful human. and I long to hear more from you 💖

[@christinakim1620]

So beautiful! I was moved to tears!

[@TyMcKinnie]

This was amazing! Really connected to it.

[@eripagan7636]

breath taking! gave me chills beginning to end

[@BMOBeth]

Wow, he blew me away.

[@anaisabeI]

he somehow managed to put into words everything I feel, amazing!

[@riverhearts]

this is one of those poems where I have to lie down after listening because of how intense the feelings I felt were

[@sydneywashington3624]

I fell in love with the poem and the man behind it too

[@moushmakosa9111]

I like him, I like this poem. Wow he reminds me of Rudy Fransisco

[@Sgatzmusic]

My favourite in such a long time.

[@letkettlecook]

This is powerful and I'm not even done.

[@letkettlecook]

That was powerful.

[@torimuzyk4102]

[@meshlinks4146]

He totally listens to Rudy Francisco

[@TStizzle19]

But don't we all?

[@Intel615]

He has an amazing voice.

[@Kainenmoore2014]

I relate to him so much

[@wowemily7110]

I love this poem! watched it so many times!

[@NicoleMP885]

2:42 (I was the tree who fell in the forest when nobody else was looking, and dared to make a sound) Nobody: Litterally Nobody: Me: "WHEN YOU'RE FALLING IN A FOREST AND THERE'S NOBODY AROUND, DO YOU EVER REALLY CRASH OR EVEN MAKE A SOUND?"

[@Nassit-Gnuoy]

He's always got great poems.

[@AERoyse]

I love everything about this poem / video / his performance.

The most beautiful thing about love is that it cannot be owned
