Today flipped through my 10th grade journal
Stumbled upon a list
My greatest desires at the time
Things for which I most wished

The first and only thing written
To find someone who loves me
Tells me I'm beautiful every day
When I look and act ugly

Here I am nine long years later
Blessed with that guy
I am still unhappy
Don't know why
True story

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.

Dear Diary;
I failed again.
Somehow I can’t learn how to
love others the way that
I want to be loved.
I am the enemy of
my own story.
Mitch Prax Dec 2019
Dear Diary;
Does not drinking
half a bottle of gin
make me more or
less fun at parties?
On second thoughts,
don't answer that.

My diary is in "crypted."
Every letter is a different sign.
I guess I don't want anyone to read my diary
I want to keep telling them I'm fine.
A poem every day.

If they can't read my diary (I hate diaries) they can't see if I'm alright or not. It's pretty sad.

DEAR HP Poets,
       My diary begins to echo with phases on a day when wind moves softly and ducks drift with grace.
       It begins with an entry whereby I take a thought and expand it into a song to light highways in eyes.
       It starts in my quiet existence where words are company and dreams seem idle. Where I moss code my heart to change it into words to scribe.
        My entry is complete as pen scripts gratitude for the poets on distant shores and the ones that perhaps live next door.

                                 Fondly,

                                 Star BG
Just a thought

Let this be one giant collaboration throughout the years.
Let this be a reminder of who you were.
And what I wanted for you.

Never forget about the 3 successes.
Never forget about our dreams.

Stresses we had to endure.
And the amazing people we got to meet.

Don’t ever let your hubris get the best of you.
Don’t think that’s what it means to be new.

Change was never a bad thing.
Change to the worse is what’s frightening.

Remember the experiments.
Remember your instantly.
When you punched the walls.
In an outburst of profanity.

Avoid those who seek your downfall.
When life knocks you down.
Get up, and stand tall.

Never forget those who took advantages of your gullibility.
Learn to have tolerance and expand its capacity.

The world isn’t tolerant to those who are weak.
We don’t follow packs.
Because we are the freaks.

This was never meant to be rhymed.
It was a message in my diary.
But what a better way.
To hype my future with a poem that’s fiery!
I wouldn't call it a poem, since it follows not proper rhythmic rules.
But I just felt like posting it after accidently rhyming the first few sentences in it
She
wished
to write
the diary
of a flower,  
unknowing
of how the
pages were
endless,
as the
song
of her
beautiful
mind the
garden
came
forth
from,
her
soft
angel
eyes
opened
for the
eyes of
a book
within
her private
perusal,
where her
being had
came to the
embrace,
and so
followed
her heart,
the rest
came
In waves
as her
hands
stroked her
gentle
features,
her skin
was the
winter
moon,
though
not fairer
than her
deeper
thoughts
as a blue
sea with
the softer
whispers
of clouds,
her home
lyed within
the deepest
part of the
library,
seldom
wandering
to the cafe,
her heart
wished to
sees beauty
In others
veiled to
the eyes,
wondrously,
she meditated
upon the light
waiting to be
sought, the
butterfly
to touch
her palms,
eventide
fell as
she walked
through the
garden by
the moon,
hidden
with the
roses
forever,
the poet
of love who
gazed upon
a symphony
of dew-beads
as stars,
appearing
as shrines
of memory,
as the night
lights of a
universe
for only
her,
as she
gazed
upon them,
with her
gentle
voice,
she sang,
“can I call
this love,
or the words
of falling rain?”
as she watched,
with the leaves,
and the gentle
dew, opening for
love letters
untold,
her lips
touched
the petals,
and tears
fell from
her eyes,
and upon
the white
petals,
the night
sleeps
forever,
the tears
became
the far
tides
of an
ocean,
love is
the rose
of suffering
and beauty,
and the one
whom has
known it
lives forever
as a home
for others,
the nightingale
sings as her
ink flowed as
waves
upon her
papers,
where she
wandered, with
meditations upon
Monet arose
as lullabies
of a secret
world,
songs of
honeysuckle
and wisteria
brighter
than the
wings
of fairies,
the small gifts of
precious wonders
she held with all
the curiosity
in her hands,
as she
thought
to herself,
were these
lights, or
the few
thousands
teaching
her to
dance
from
within?
she reaches
the waters,
and the
delicate,
fair form
touched
the moonlit
mirrors,
where she
witnessed
the truth
beyond
words,
amongst
the tear
painted
petals, the
moon sings
the symphony
for her, “are you
the one I have
been seeking?”
as it’s light
touches her
wandering
steps, she
returns to
her home,
and in her
blankets,
she writes,
“to my lover,
I will remember
how we met
each other
as waves,
from the
lost, far
away
parts
of the
ocean,
we found
the shores
becoming
eyes, they had
sought themselves
to be lost in legions
of constellations
in the galaxies
of hearts,
with the stars
that waited
to be born,
the flecked
specks of light in
divinations of the
midnight hours,
and reminisced
the dappled
dreams of
colors and
witnessed
beauteous
musing, in
the cafe,
where our
conversations
poured
the seas
into cups
of tea, and
explored
the question
of metamorphosis
through words,
shifting time
through the
touching of
marble cups
and the colloquy
of our eyes, the
artistry in the
miracle of the
gentle, I walked
In flight with you,
as we shared the
unspoken stories
of our hearts
woven through
the rain,
under the
umbrellas
leading
to your
home,
where we
watched
the paintings
of the night
skies as the
memories
of us, the
lights
touched
by the
secret
garden,
where I
wandered”.
her hands
then closed
the pages,
and her eyes
rested upon
the pillow,
and the
moon
chants,
“O fair
maiden,
you are
the one
whose
existence
Is loved, the
nightingale
has sung to
you upon
It’s branch
near your
window,
though
fairer is
your
voice,
you are
the gentle
one who
turns all
of what
you have
seen to
artistry,
when
you love,
all is in
bloom,
la fleur
de lune.

Another day in these hollowed out shoes
I don't think I could walk another mile
Even if I wanted to
These shadows dance like puppets on the wall
And I'm so tired that I could cry

Another tear has fallen for the likes of you
You crushed my soul just because
You wanted to
Now my dreams and memories
All scream out your name
And I'm so tired but I tried
Oh but I tried

Ashes from the battle have fallen
Over my dejected broken my heart
And the smoke has turned my eyes
A deep cold dark blue
My shoes are tattered and have holes
My feet are so tender that they bleed
And I can't walk any more so here I am
Dying slowly on my knees

You were the first and only to say “I love you.” And I remember telling u not to rush the 3 big words bc I didn’t believe it was true. And I didn’t believe that I loved you either.
