The burden of hope
is bound to take its toll
on me,
yet it is all that

Last Chapter

a lot of pages but

The Torture Doctor
Mitch Prax Apr 2021

Realizing that you are
not as special to someone

Love/Fuck You
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
There are those in life
who make you want to say
'I love you'
and there are those
who make you want to say
'*******'.
I want to be the one
who makes you want to say
both.

Scar Tissue
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
For muscles to grow,
they must bruise and tear
and it is the pain we must endure.
Surely, it must be true
of the heart?
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Her heart was
where I found my home.
Her thoughts and words
open up doors I could never find
and her eyes painted the walls
in beauty only rivaled by her own.
This is the house I wish
to spend my days.

Delete
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
Wouldn't it be nice
if life had a delete button?
Imagine the memories,
the people, the feelings
you could erase with the
push of a button.
That would be nice,
wouldn't it?

Drowning
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
I am drowning
in this ocean we call life.
It's a bottomless abyss of

Cycle
Mitch Prax Apr 2021
I hate the way I woke up,
hungover,
and all alone, again.
I hate the loneliness and
I understand why I am
every time I see my
reflection in the toilet water
throwing up last night's bottle of gin.
I hate the way I waste the day
and do it all over again that night.
I hate this cycle that I
cannot break.

I am the God
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
I am the god, I am the sea
protector of humanity
atom bombs and all the kaiju
they’re no match, you know that it’s true

I am the king, I am the beast
rage and wrath have now been unleashed  
I am the wonder of this world
there’s not a thing I couldn’t hurl

Diary Excerpts #43
Mitch Prax Mar 2021
Dear diary;
there were no heroes to be found
in this story I call my life-
maybe I was the villain all along.
Will a hero give this plot a meaning?
Will a hero redeem this sinful soul?
Vain and vile,
I am the villain.
Pride and pain,
I am the villain.
