Boys VS Friends
Mykenzie Jan 2019
Boys will come and go
but friends are forever.
Thats why friends and forever both start with 'F'

So when given the chance,
make sure you don't lose the forever.

Bad for me
Mykenzie Jan 2019
You were sweet
kind
funny
caring
.
.
.
Something changed. You changed.

Now you're cold
cruel
mean
heartless
.
.
.
I don't know
what to do now.
Because you're not
who I thought you were.

No
Mykenzie Jan 2019
No
I saw a poem
a few moments ago

asking people to pray for her death.

I have come to say, that I will not.

I will pray that she finds someone
who loves her, adn cares for her, and
prays that she gets better, as will I.

To that poet: I hope you are better, as it has been a while.

We all love you here at HP.
We are here for you to talk to, as we all have our own struggles.
The poem was on the featured page and had a filter of some sort over it where it was almost unreadable. Lucky for me, someone had deciphered it in the comments

Midnight
Mykenzie Jan 2019
1.9.19

The clock tells me it's past midnight
when I first realize the feeling
of unspoken sentences itching beneath my skin,
prickling up my arms like goosebumps;
it's just past midnight when
the dams burst behind my eyes, unexpectedly;
it's just past midnight when I begin to think of
all the sunrises I've slept through
all the highways my tires may never travel,
just past midnight when I realize
our concept of "love" is caused by chemicals
in our brains,
that my existence might never have happened,
except it did.

I begin to smile
at half past midnight -
I have come into this world
riding the high of my forefathers' hopes and dreams,
I have bled for this life;
I am the thunder that splits your eardrums
right before the rain -
I am the flash right before you realize
We are all birthed in the light of impermanence,
and my life is just a flicker in the dark
next to yours,
And we are beautiful.

What should have been

°She°
Mykenzie Dec 2018
Do you know why she picked you?
It's because you make her smile on days she is convinced she will never smile again, it's because when she wants to hate the world, she loves you--   it's because when she's lost, the first she always looks for is you.
Did you ever realise that?
When she fights for you, why do you think she does it? Is it because of your eyes or the way you walk?
•No•
It's because she sees something in you that's worth fighting for.
When she constantly asks how she can change your sour mood, do you think it's because you're pretty?
•Not at all•
She does it so you know-- understand-- realise-- that no matter what state you're in, she'll be there to hold your hand whether you laugh, cry or feel helpless.
If she says she loves you, do you think it's to make you laugh?
•Never•
It's because she will only say this to you when she has no doubt that it will not hurt so much that it will not be real.

**My favorite color**
Mykenzie Nov 2018
I would tell you my favorite color
but it's not like it would matter
My favorite shade of green won't take away your pain
My preferred blue isn't going to change the past

The red that spills from your wrists is the only color you can see
or think about.
The way it feels as it empties you.

I would tell you my favorite color,
but I know it's not important.
You don't care if I dream about your dark eyes
or your ebony hair
or the soft pink of your lips.
Because you're too caught up in your own head
to think about what you're doing to me.

difference
Mykenzie Nov 2018
i like to think about
the time before
my life was familiar to me.
remember when the tiles of this
hallway had never
seen my footsteps?
remember when the buttons of this
elevator had never
felt my fingertips?
remember when the music that
filled this hall had never
been made by me?
my memory of the flags in the windows
and the trees breaking up
the pavement in the parking lot
and the glass doors made of
piano keys
it never meant anything then.
i only thought i understood
what i was seeing
when i thought i’d never
see it again.
the painting in front of me
has changed me as much
as i changed it.
just think
if i saw the same things a year ago
as what i’m seeing today
and nothing seems the same
how different will everything be
tomorrow?

English is a weird language
Mykenzie Nov 2018
Insert 'Only' at any place in the sentence:
"She told him that she loved him"
.....
Yes, English can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.
.....
If 'womb' is pronounced 'woom' and 'tomb' is pronounced 'toom', shouldn't 'bomb' be pronoused 'boom'?
.....
Australia has 3 'A's.. each pronounced differently.
.....
In every other language (Other than English), pineapples are called ananas
.....
The following sentence has 7 different meaning based on the stressed word:
"I never said she stole my money"
.....
Cough, Rough, Though, Through. Why don't these words rhyme, but for some god forsaken reason, Pony and Bologna do?!
.....
Word: Queue
Pronunciation: Kyoo
Write down 5 letter. Only pronouce the first.
.....
Laid is pronounced like paid, but not said. Said is pronounced like bread, but not bead. Bead is pronounced like lead, but not lead.
.....

what if i died weeks from now? months?

have i lived all i was ever going to live?

maybe i was never fated to eat breakfast tomorrow morning
maybe i was never fated to read the questions on my test tomorrow
maybe i was never fated to hear the cheers of my classmates at our graduation
maybe i was never fated to walk the halls of a college campus
maybe i was never fated to meet the one person I could spend my life with
maybe i was never fated to hold my child in my arms
maybe i was never fated to see the top of mount everest
maybe i was never fated to witness the death of stars
maybe i was never fated to dive the depths of the ocean
maybe i was never fated to watch the sun rise a thousand times

Falling
Mykenzie Nov 2018
I fell in love with you
like the sun sets or rises,
like someone falls asleep.
Slowly,
then all at once.

And before I realized it,
you were my world,
while I was nothing but a speck to you.

When I think of you
Mykenzie Nov 2018
I think of all out memories
The good,
The bad,
The pretty,
The ugly.

I remember every single thing you said,
my responses.

I remember the very last words you said to me,
"I love you, but I'm sorry"

Funny, because you don't seem very sorry
for all that you did to me..

I make sure to count you twice.
Mykenzie Nov 2018
As thanksgiving approaches,
I count my blessing
1 by 1,
2 by 2,
so on and so forth...

But when it comes to you,
I find myself counting you as both a blessing,
and a curse..

Illusions
Mykenzie Nov 2018
If each of us were born unique,
Why do we try to be the same,
If this world was made with meaning,
Why do we treat it like a game,
Why do we define our value,
When we look at our reflection,
As we change our bodies in ways,
The world has taught us is perfection,
Why wait in line for iPhones,
And wear clothes we can’t afford,
Why are we competing with each other,
When there is no grand award,
We need to stop and remember,
Even though we all are human,
That a mirror shows just skin,
And is only an illusion.

My mistake
Mykenzie Nov 2018
Your lies lured me in

They sounded sickly sweet

If only they were true

Maybe I would've stayed longer

Maybe I would never have walked away

Maybe we would still be together

But your lies stopped

I was no longer beautiful

I needed to lose weight

I was no longer your girl

I was your responsibility

I was no longer worthy of your love

I was only worthy of the truth

The painful painful truth

But no matter how painful it was,

I stayed

And I listened

Until one day you lied again

I finally saw through the facade of your lies

I no longer held onto the notion that I was nothing

I became myself again, well as much of myself that I could

I left you and never looked back

You called and texted, but I never answered

I finally had you out of my life

And I was going to be free

Until I wasn't

You showed up again

You sweet talked me into believing you again

This time it went too far

I believed you a little too much

So much that I'm now six feet under

In a way that's a good thing

It means that I don't have to hear your sweet lies ever again.

Like a clock
Mykenzie Nov 2018
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
You hear that?
With every tick is I miss you.
With every tock is an I love you.

Tick, I miss you. Tock, I love you.

Every waking second, all I want to do is talk to you.
Every waking second, all I want to do is be with you.

It's cold outside right now.
The silence is too deafening. But I am simultaneously reminded by the thought of you.
It's too noisy in my head right now.
All I could hear is tick, tock, tick, tock.

Words may not express every waking second that I miss you, or I love you.

My dear, if you do hear me saying these words, give the clock a listen.
With every second you'll hear a tick.
With every second you'll hear a tock.

If when the time comes that I am not able to say these words, give our dear clock a listen.

And whatever the clock is saying, is what my mind is thinking, and what my heart is feeling.

Tick, tock, my love.
Tick.
Tock.

An Eraser
Mykenzie Oct 2018
An eraser
goes through its life
caring about all the tiny details
but not about itself.
it degrades itself trying
to fix others mistakes
until suddenly
it’s gone.

it knows it’s dying,
it know it,
and it doesn’t care.
it cares too much about other people
to care about itself.

Some people say an eraser
would be a model human.
i don’t.

If everyone was like an eraser,
if everyone cared about others
just a little too much,
how would life work?

People would degrade
just like the eraser,
not caring
about themselves.

an eraser plays an important role in art.
so it does.
you can care about other people,
but don't
not care about yourself.
do not be an eraser,
you need loved too.

Shades of Home
Mykenzie Oct 2018
When I look at you,
I see the many shades of home.

I see the dark blue of the midnight skies,
and the rich reds of Momma's pans.

I see the blank white of the laundry rooms walls,
and the black of my old comforter.

It's the shades that I see in you,
that let me love you so deeply.

Disappear and Reappear
Mykenzie Oct 2018
you came
you left

 and yet the trees still sway
     and summer still comes
all that remains is a strange longing,
 memori­es that rose like cyclops in the
night
                      
the trapdoors of desire,
 the black-holes of our sharpened
       souls

if you could be god, and
               come back - if only for a moment, to tell me I was right,
 then I would make your words my epitaph)

my purpled lover, like  a
bulbous flower protruding from it's
 stem,
you have eaten all the breadcrumbs,
so how will I find you again?

­ even if you had disappeared like
  an evening ghost,
      our souls had touched,
  and for the first time
  I could see the stars in other  peoples' eyes

Eyes
Mykenzie Oct 2018
They say eyes are the windows to the soul.
Is that really true?
When eyes can be manipulated
as easy as me and you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have always loved my eyes
perhaps becasue they change colors.
They turn from Blue, to Green, to Gray.

But then I saw your eyes.
Just a simple brown.
But in them I saw love, and hope,
and all good things that live in the world.

In your eyes, I saw the person I wanted to be...
and because of your eyes,
my world is changed.
I am changed.
And you are here, with me.

You say you love my eye, and I love yours.
Soo maybe mine
are actually for you.
When I say eyes can be manipulated, I mean that contacts can change the color of one's eyes. And the optical illusion pictures manipulate eyes.

Sometimes
Mykenzie Oct 2018
Sometimes..
I catch myself thinking of when you were mine
and I was yours.

Sometimes, I catch myself wishing it would go back to that.
All was simple when your hand was in mine.

But you moved on, and I moved on.
I moved on to loving myself,
while you moved on to someone else.
I found a guy who loved me for me.
Then you moved back.

Not this time.
This time is different.
I am not, will not, can not go back to you.

It wasn't so simple when my hand was in yours.
I hated every aspect of me...
even my eyes and my scars, which I've always loved.
I done this because your eyes were prettier,
and you said you wished the scars weren't there....

I love myself.
and I love him, as I had loved you at one time.
But not anymore...

The love for you has dulled, as the love for me grew
This is again about my 'First love'
I still love him, but not as I once did.
Me and him have decided to remain friends for the forseeable future.

Memory...

The floors
you walked are cold
I'm missing your footsteps.
The doors
you opened are closed
I'm hiding you there.
The air

I inhale so deeply.
The words
you spoke freely....
Are now a memory inked.
My first love is saying he still loves me, but I am in a relationship.....

The Girl; Part 2
Mykenzie Oct 2018
The girl has been here all along.
Cant't you hear her sing her song?
The darkness can't hide
The light's too strong
It retreates back
to where it belongs
The girl
Is here
Happy and free
To say she's gone
The darkness took her
You were wrong
The laugh she gives, makes her stronger
Listen again to her song
Let your heart feel the words, and seep into your skin
Once again, feel the light She'll have lifelong

I
just
want to
know that
I fi died tonight,
Who would cry tomorrow
Who would stand in the cold,
and listen to the minister speak on my behalf
Who would write letters to my parents, apolagizing,
Who would leave bouquets of  pretty flowers at my tombstone
Who would stand tall, sturdy as stone, and suffer in silence
Who would mourn for a day then go on about their lives
Who would see it in the obituaries and only shrug
Who would only notice it after a month,
or three or twelve or eighteen
How many strangers
wouldn't care....
I wonder.....

The downfall
Mykenzie Oct 2018
Here you have glitter
Here you would have fallen
I am prepared to embrace
Set aside your crying
It will lead to your downfall.

So put the tears in your pocket,
save them for when you are alone.
Because nobody can see your tears.
Nobody can see your hurt.
Because it can and will be used against you.
This is a good example of how songs can influence my writing.
The first line was inspired by If I Die Young
The last was inspired by Just One Yesterday
