Negationism
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
If some *******
should say we had a history
of any sort,
kick them in the head.
And if some *******
says were were in love,
kick them in the head
again.

A Winter's Night
Mitch Prax Nov 2023
I hope life is treating you well
wherever you are right now.
Just know I still think of you
for you are never forgotten in this heart.
Indeed, this heart misses you
for it is you that fills it.
That way you are never gone from me,
and though the years pass,
I can treasure what I keep in my heart
like a fire on a winter's night.

Deep Love

The sea

when compared to how deep
my love is

Moving On

To move on

to move on
is to have no one

yourself.

Dear diary;

Across The Ocean
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
My memories
are carried by the southern breeze
across the oceans
to the one I long for.
Our goodbyes wonder endlessly
on foreign shores and
I can still hear your whispers
drift through the
darkest of nights.

Your Light
Mitch Prax Apr 2022
In a world
full of weeds and thorns,
there are sunflowers like you
that bring beauty and bliss
into an otherwise bleak world.
Few are so lucky to witness
these sunflowers-
Truly, I have been blessed
by your light.

The first night we spent together

How we arrived in this Hell,

Solitude
Mitch Prax Jan 2023
Solitude is not my enemy,
Solitude is more of a pet.
I call it over in times of need-
it comes to me, sits by my side
and makes for good company.
Sometimes solitude will bite
to remind me of just how lonely
the solitary life can be.
But thanks to solitude,
I see life for what it is.

Dot
Mitch Prax Sep 2023
Dot
Are you drifting from me?
Or am I drifting from you?
The seas are against us and I fear
I will soon be a dot on your horizon,
the same dot at the end of a question mark
that may be forever left unanswered.

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.

Wither

I remember when
you were still a sunflower-
back when you planned to reach the sun,
back before they had trimmed your leaves
and left you to wither.

Stone Heart
Mitch Prax Jan 2021
I used to think

a stone heart impenetrable

And then I met you-
just one glance and this heart

Into the Night
Mitch Prax Jul 2021
When life gets you down,
there's always that one person
who will be there
day after day.
So what happens when
they fade into

Darkness Calls
Mitch Prax May 2022
Darkness calls me
at midnight and takes pity
on this lonely soul.
The night turns cold and
the shadows return after
another busy day of
distracting myself in light,
out of their reach
if only for
a little while.

Diary Excerpts #58
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Dear Diary;
another day,
another awkward interaction
that no one probably cares about...
except me,
of course.
Is it going to keep me up at night?
Of course.
Will it make me want to die?
Of course.

Lost
Mitch Prax Jan 2022
I find myself lost in the cosmos
from time to time.
Sometimes, I feel too far gone
to ever return to Earth
but that's okay,
the galaxies caress me in a
strange but splendid
silence.

When someone

Your Happiness
Mitch Prax Apr 12
No one should be
responsible for your happiness.
No one should bear that pressure-
not your partner, nor family, nor friends.
Only you can determine it,
and with that happiness,
you share it with those
who deserve it.

Diary Excerpts #54
Mitch Prax Oct 2021
Dear diary;
I'm so tired.
I am so tired of wasting energy
on those who so not reciprocate.
I am so tired of proving a point
to those who do not listen.
I am so tired of forgiving the same person
over and over again.
I am so tired of putting on a happy face
when that is not the case.
I am so tired of staying silent
for my mental health.
I am so tired.
