The reality
is that I made myself feel
alone, no one else

Antagonist
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
You are not
the antagonist
for every story.
Not every story
is about you-
sometimes we have
to learn to see
other people too.

To an End
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I will not ask you to stay-
you don't owe me anything.
I know you will leave
and there is nothing I can say
to change that.
Our time is coming to an end
and though you will say goodbye,
that doesn't mean my
heart will reciprocate.

Hollow
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I feel nothing
for the greatest pleasures
and terrible tragedies-
this is how it has always been.
Call it a lack of emotion,
an emptiness, a hollowness-
I carry that around in my soul,
my blood and my bones.

Moments
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Life is a

I have to pretend to

Bloom

You planted
a sunflower
and it bloomed your future.

Your Smile
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I've settled for the
memory of your smile
to give me a reason to live.
Even if I don't have you,
it doesn't matter,
your smile is enough
for me to smile in the
bleakest of mornings
and the darkest of nights.

Climbing Back
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I don't want to know you anymore-
not how your day was,
not what you dream,
or even your name.
You cut me down and
I'm still climbing back
to who I used to be.
Mar 2022 · 103
Hearts
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I have met
so many hearts and
let go of so many more.
Each one I remember-
I cherish them all so much
that every now and again,
I can't help but shed a tear.
Mar 2022 · 67
Lost
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I wandered too far
from who I was and now
I cannot find my way back to me.
I know that I am still out there
waiting to be found,
waiting to feel alive,
and waiting to love
again.

A Thousand Sunflowers
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
The joy of a
thousand sunflowers
leaves my heart brimming with joy.
You make me want to
plant a thousand more.
Hand in hand,
let's get lost in the yellow fields
we grew together.

Heal
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
We are not
victims of our past,
we are survivors.
We learn to heal along the way-
its not like life gives us a choice anyway.

The Poet
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Who is a poet,
without their pen?
Our existence is on the page-
it is the stories in our head
and the words in our heart.

Distant Dream
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
We are not the same person
as we were yesterday.
Today we believe in this,
and tomorrow we believe in that.
Yesterday is a distant dream and
today I'm only waking up.

Tragedy

what a

to think of you

Chase

I do not want you
to chase after me-
all I want is for someone
to care about my return.

In the End
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
In the end,
I have no one
to blame but myself.
I ruined me-
I did it myself.

Inevitable
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Acknowledgement does
not equal attachment and
most of the time it is inevitable
to get lost in one or more
of these states of mind.
It is inevitable not to miss
what you once attached
yourself to.
Mar 2022 · 127
No Longer
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I will no longer
know anything about you
and you will no longer
remember my name.
I will no longer
cross your thoughts
and you will no longer
dream about me.
I will no longer
share your warmth
and you will no longer
hold these hands.

Propaganda

Propaganda

people are dumb,
it works because people
want to believe.

Back to Life
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
There are days where
I miss you so much that
these sunflowers wither and die.
Make your arms my garden and
your smile the sun that
brings them back to life.

Sweet Nostalgia
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I am a bee in the
sunflowers of memories.
I find shelter and solitude
underneath the petals
and harvest that sweet nostalgia
of this garden we once shared.

Your Garden
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Each one of your smiles
is a sunflower planted in my soul.
Dispel of this darkness and despair
and cover it with your garden.

Your Smile
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
It was easier when you were here.
You filled each day with a joy
I have not found since you.
No matter what came my way,
your smile was enough
to make me forget the pain
at the end of the day.

Scattered Stars
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Some of us are scattered stars
without a solar system in the vast
and unforgiving cosmos.
We may not be part of a constellation
or host a planet and its life
we could sustain but
we still shine as bright
as any other star.

Summer Night
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Alone again on
this summer night.
No emotions this evening,
not even any thoughts or sensations.
The ambience consumes me
as I give into the abating ambience.
There will be no dreams tonight,
but also no fear.
Feb 2022 · 118
Give Water
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I want to give water
to the garden of memories
and flourish these
withered sunflowers
that kept me warm
so very long ago.

In My Dreams
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Who are you?
I do not know you,
yet you come to me
in my dreams and leave me
wanting more.

Chasing a Ghost
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I got tired of fantasizing,
of giving into the illusions and
drowning myself in nostalgia that
I can no longer attain.
I am tired of chasing a ghost,
but tomorrow I may give
into the haunting
once again.

The Storm
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
This heartache screams your name,
a thrashing storm that leaves
this heart in ruin.
Your thunder has
sliced open this heart
but these memories are made of sunshine.

Dreams
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I still dream about you
from time to time.
Sometimes I wish to not wake up,
sometimes they turn into nightmares.
Either way, I am sad when I wake up
to see that you are gone.

Dancing in the Sunlight
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
You are the sun
shining upon me,
a withering sunflower,
from dawn until dusk.
We dance in the sunlight
and dream in the twilight
and flourish every day
underneath your brilliance.
So keep on beaming your magic
down upon this Earth
and make your alluring spell
last forever.

Diary Excerpts #57

Dear Diary;
why do I feel the

whenever something good

Do I really feel
that undeserving?
