Diary Excerpts #68
Mitch Prax Oct 2022
Dear diary;
Today,
I feel alive.
so much so that
my demons are
laughing with me.

Oh Chai
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
Oh Chai,
you cleanse this soul.
Your warmth rushes through this body
on the way to this frozen heart.
So sweet you are,
I need you every night.
Oh Chai,
it's you that makes me feel alright.

Say
Mitch Prax Oct 2022
Say
I either have
nothing to say or
too much to say but
no will to say it.

Yield
Mitch Prax Dec 2022
Sometimes
you just have to
let the anger, the darkness,
the sadness and chaos go.
Sometimes
all you can do is
yield these feelings
to the past and try
to not look back.

Anxiety
Mitch Prax Apr 2023
Anxiety,
it is born of the mind,
it racks my bones and
makes a home in
every fiber of
my being.

Sinking Heart
Mitch Prax Aug 2021
Like the rain
drowns the plants,
your words drown
this sinking heart.

Second Choice
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
Second choice?
You?
Are you crazy?
Are you blind?
Look in the mirror
and tell me a fool
who would take that
as his second choice.
Yes, tell me the fool
who would cherish
that heart of yours
a mere second to
that of another.
I want to know this fool,
so I can take pity on
his misguided soul.
Second choice-
spare me!

Here I Go Again
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
I thought I
could save you
but it turns out that
I only made it
worse.

Paths
Mitch Prax Sep 2023
Most people are temporary.
Some of them can help you along your path
or even guide you on a new path
while others can get you lost
or even put you down
a dangerous path.

Diary Excerpts #3
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
Dear diary;
this heartbreak stuff
does wonders for my writing.
Is it a price worth paying?
Probably not,
but it’s not
like I have a
choice.
173 · Mar 2022
Truth
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
The truth will set you free
no matter how frightening it may be
to shed the ignorance we have
found comfort in.
Some people may run and hide from it,
others even fight it,
but the more you seek truth,
the easier it will be to
make that peace.

Diary Excerpts #7
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
Dear Diary;
I met a girl last night
and I saw a goddess in her eyes.
Can you believe it?
I met a *******
goddess.

Relate
Mitch Prax Sep 2022
There are some people
you can know a lifetime
and still not relate to
just as there are strangers
who you can relate to
as if having known
them a lifetime.
173 · Jul 2023
All of You
Mitch Prax Jul 2023
The mere act of thinking about you
takes me to the cosmos and beyond,
that is why I love to write you,
all of you, my inspiration and
absolute devotion.
172 · Jul 2022
Just Life
Mitch Prax Jul 2022
We spent four years
wounding each other?
Is that love?
Some people would call us mad,
but that's what I just call
life.

Dream of You
Mitch Prax Aug 2022
Don't let me close my eyes-
wake me if I do,
even if I am dreaming because
no dream can compare to the one I lay beside.
I want to dream of you
with eyes wide open.

Once again,
anxiety blooms
in this mind like
black roses.

Low
Mitch Prax Oct 2024
Low
Sometimes I need my solitude
when the battery gets low,
when the voices are too loud
and when I feel the weight
of the world upon my shoulders.
We all have our ways of recharging
whether it be in shadows
or in light.

Tragedy
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
what a
tragedy it is
to think of you
and not tell you
because you are
no longer
mine.
171 · Apr 2022
Close the Door
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
The last time I saw you,
it did not feel the same.
I could feel it straight away-
you had changed and
had already closed the door
to what we once were.
And alongside me,
you left your innocence
and who you used to be.
171 · Feb 2023
The Way It Was
Mitch Prax Feb 2023
Why is it so hard
to let go of those who
hurt us the most?
Is it because they were once
the source of happiness
and everything nice?
Are we still clinging onto the hopes
that it will go back to
the way it was?
171 · Aug 2023
Carry You
Mitch Prax Aug 2023
I have now realized that
there is no place in this world
for me without you.
There is no star where you do not twinkle
nor sunflower where you do not blossom.
Indeed, I will always carry you with me
no matter where I go,
and no matter the time.
171 · Aug 2020
Promised Love
Mitch Prax Aug 2020
Baby,
I'm a broken man.
I'm nothing but damaged goods
but I promise to give you
all of the love that I
couldn't promise
to myself.
171 · Aug 2023
Illumination
Mitch Prax Aug 2023
Sometimes I wake and
remember you like a sunflower
remembers the sun on a stormy night.
Indeed, your sunlight blessed
the garden of my soul and
left life and joy in its wake.
The warmth of your touch,
the illumination of your smile
blooms a thousand sunflowers
that make up this soul.
171 · Dec 2019
Scar-less
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
Her flesh may be scar-less,
but don't be fooled,
her broken bones and
broken heart are
all part of the
journey.
171 · Dec 2023
Feel
Mitch Prax Dec 2023
I can still feel your presence
through distance and time,
through the tears and the smiles,
and through the darkness and light.
171 · Feb 2022
Stars Above
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
These memories blanket me
like the cosmos above-
countless worlds I will
never experience.
The stars above sparkle
like the unsaid words and
our broken promises-
out of reach yet oh
so beautiful.
171 · Feb 2024
Singing Alone
Mitch Prax Feb 2024
My soul's melody
can still be played but
it is missing your voice.
It is still pleasant to listen to
but without your harmony,
I will forever sing alone.

Burst
Mitch Prax Dec 2024
The Earth can only
contain so much before
it bursts open from its
volcanoes and geysers,
as can a star when it
goes supernova.
What chance do you have
of holding it all in?

Though I now may be damaged,
I could never hurt anyone

Losing
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
There is nothing wrong
with losing people.
What is wrong is
losing yourself
for other people.

Heart Calling
Mitch Prax Nov 2023
My heart calls to you,
it needs you more than blood.
It longs for your smile,
for your stories and
all of your being.
You are my sun,
and from this Earth I long for you.
So hear this heart calling,
and come back into my arms.
170 · Dec 2023
Gratitude
Mitch Prax Dec 2023
Knowing that you are
loved is what keeps this heart beating.
I hope you know just how cherished you are
and how many smiles you bring to so many people.
I think I speak for everyone when I say
what a difference you have made in so many lives
and that we will be forever grateful.

Ember
Mitch Prax Sep 2022
I still believe there is a
little piece of love that flickers in
the centre of your heart-
Like an ember struggling to breathe
in the heart of a
stormy night.

As One
Mitch Prax Oct 2023
Do you not know
that you are mine, and I am yours?
That your dreams are mine,
and that our hearts beat as one?
We may be separated but never apart
for we are one in blood, one in soul.
Everywhere you go, I go too,
We breathe the same air.
169 · Feb 2020
Sharmaine
Mitch Prax Feb 2020
A strong name for a
majestic sort of goddess
that I had the luck of meeting.
She sang her song-
one of which
captured my heart
and one of which
we can both
rejoice.
169 · Apr 2022
Sun & Moon
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
It is impossible to separate you
like the sun from the moon.
It still hurts to remember you,
but the memories still
brighten my days.

100%
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
It may not seem like it,
but no one,
not one person,
has their life 100% together.
Everyone has their struggles
and everyone shows it in different ways.
