Thought Check
Masha Yurkevich Oct 2019


How can you tell what's on
your heart?

What is the most important thing
that you think about?


The last thought you have before going to sleep

and

the first thought you have when you
wake up.


Just quickly wrote this down before bed because it wouldn't stop bothering me.

Fix It
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019

Flat tire?
Give it some air.

A tear in your clothes?
Stitch it up.

Dead car battery?
Use a jump start.

Ripping tights?
Add a drop of nail polish remover.

Loose nail?
Use a hammer.

Clock stop working?
Change the batteries.

Bleeding finger?
Get a Band-Aid.

Squeaky door?
Use some oil.

Not feeling well?
Go see a doctor.

Broken heart?
Not a cast,
not any amount of duct tape,
not any doctor,
not any batteries,
no type of stitch,
no kind of Band-Aid
no matter how much money you have,
will never fix it.


But if anyone has any ideas, I'm ready to listen.

An example of life?
Perhaps.

In life, you can only count on yourself.
And when you take out all the
little factors
of your life,
you are the only

left.


Count on yourself. Believe in yourself.

*Note: I've been thinking about prime numbers a lot recently, and so I decided to make something out of it. I know it's not really a poem, but here it is anyways.

True Power
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019

When tears threat to come,
I pick up my guitar and start to
s t r u m .

And every chord has great meaning to me,
A minor, C sharp, G major, B.

I play those strings,
and they play me;
crisp,
smooth,
rich,
and clean.

I hug it's body and my fingers dance;
I play as if it's my last chance.

I hug it tighter and close my eyes.
It's a heaven;
a blessing in disguise.

It may be dead
but it's so alive,
it invigorates me and
makes me survive.


Six strings on my guitar,
bringing me

so close

and yet

so far.


The relationship between me and my guitar.
I'm serious; if it weren't for my guitar(or any of my other instruments) at times, I bet I wouldn't be here today.
Music has true power.

I'm still thinking of a good title, so please let me know if you have any! :)

Give Up
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019

Today,
I will give up.

All of these problems and struggles,
I've had enough.

I don't want this weight
on my shoulders,
I want all of this to be over.

My strength  is thin,
and I'm beginning to fall apart within.

Today,
I want to give up.







But I don't.



I don't want to give up.
But do I have to?

I am Human
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019


I am human.

I make mistakes.

I learn.

I fail.

I succeed.

I am not perfect;
nor do I want to be.

I want to be free.

I want to be different.

I want to be unique.

I want to stand out.

I am me.


And the best you can be is yourself.

Summertimes
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019

It left.

Too fast.

Just enough for us to feel the heat,







but not enough.

The fragrant aroma of
daisies and roses,

and the warm ocean water in which
we dipped
our toes
in.

Nights under the starry sky.

on the gentle grass,
just
you
and
I.

But now the days are getting shorter,
and winter is just
around the corner.

And without the sun,
the earth doesn't grow.

Just like without you,





my heart is cold.

The Gloom in Your Eyes
Masha Yurkevich Sep 2019


The dull look of your eyes,
full of hatred
for the whole world.

What has happened to you?

Why is there no longer
that sparkle of love,
that shimmer of happiness,
that glitter of fun,
that glow of kindness.

What has happened to you, my friend?

Clearly,
you are no longer who you were.

And I,
whatever happened,
am not sure.


People change. Let's just hope they change for the best of ways, not for the negative.

Love Language

Learn to rise
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


I've learned to rise;
to get up when I fall.

Because it's every fail that makes it count,
and in the end it is all.


It might not really make sense, but I feel much better after writing this.
Still, I hope you enjoy.

Too hard. Too easy.
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


I tried so hard,
and your heart wasn't soft.

But you gave up too easy,
and left me so lost.


I don't know; just something that was gnawing at me until I shared it.

Three Sides
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


I have three sides:

1. The quiet, sweet, and shy side.
2. The fun, loud, and crazy side.
3. The side you never want to see.


I think we all have side Nº 3.

I'm not the kind...
Masha Yurkevich May 2019

I'm not the kind to give on up,
though often I may feel like it

I'm not the kind to let you down,
my hand will always be here.

I'm not the kind to hold a grudge forever,
no matter what you've done to me.

I'm not the kind to stray away from you,
I will always be near.

I'm not the kind to treat you bad,
even after what you've done to me.

I'm not the kind who doesn't care,
I will always worry.

I'm not the kind to bring you down,
I will always pull you up.

I'm the kind to try to do the best to you,
even if you have not done the same for me.


Now go back and just read the sentences in italics.
I have never done this before but always wanted to.
Tell me what you think...

Mothers
Masha Yurkevich May 2019
Children fed,
stories read.

Doctor visits made,
new toys bought and played.

Favorites dishes cooked,
memories from childhood.

Energy spent to play,
children asking for different things everyday.

Hugs and kisses given,
those little moments that you'd give your heart for your children.

School projects made,
cookies baked.

Sleepless nights with tears,
happiness mixed with fears.

Patience thin as paper,
but children can make it thinner with their behavior.

Punishments and fights,
feels so wrong but you know it's right.

Mothers;
our very best friends.

They always know what is the best.

Through the stress of life and dealing with us,
mothers;
they will never give up.


Happy Mother's Day to all those mothers out there! You are a superhero and much more!
Though your children may not always say it, they love and treasure you so much! :)

Preparing for Parenthood
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


A good way to prepare for

Where she will remain
Masha Yurkevich May 2019
My vision starts to blur;
my words start to slur.

The world around me starts to go at a snails' pace,
and I forget where I am,
this country, city, or place.

The words you're saying make no sense to me.
Strange feelings flood me, such as happy, anxious, and very angry.

I'm not sure what's going on,
all I can tell is that I want my mom.

I'm yelling,
                 screaming,
                          shouting

her name.

Suddenly she's next to me,
and I know that's where she will remain.
P.S. This was just a bad dream...

Canvas
Masha Yurkevich May 2019
I'm
not
your
canvas;
you can't
paint over me.
My mistakes,
my life, it's whom
I want to be.
So go
_________
take your

paintbrush
and your paint, too,
because I love my every
stain, and I'll keep every
color; red, green,
or blue.


By my every stain I mean my every mistake or misfortune, because I learn from each one of them.

I hope it looks somewhat like a paintbrush. I messed around with it, and the result is before your eyes.

It's more than enough
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


I don't need money

your heart and your love,

And already,

that's more than enough.

Watch me
Masha Yurkevich May 2019

Haha, you thought I couldn't do it?

You bring me to the

Whenever you try to stop me,

Whenever you try to break me,

Whenever you try to hurt me,
I won't hear what you say.

Whenever you try to put me on a different path,
I'll still go my own way.

Whenever you try to change me,
I'll still be myself.

Whenever you try to make be weaker,

the one who will care.
The one who will treasure me,

Welcome to High School...
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Welcome to High School where...


You will be bullied and made fun of.

You will be judged on you appearance.

You will see a lot of people who you don't want to see.

You will constantly be bombarded with drama and anxiety.  

You will worry about things you shouldn't be worrying about.

You probably won't love most of those around you.  

You will stay up all night studying for a test that you will fail anyway.

You will get into fights and learn painful lessons.

You will spend most of the day wishing you were somewhere else.

You will waste seven valuable hours of your life everyday.

You will make plenty of enemies but probably not nearly enough
friends.
