War with Words
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
War
with
Words;

you're yelling,
screaming;
it hurts.
This is what I call
a battlefield
creating wounds that may
never
heal.
I hate it when people yell.
Yelling doesn't help with anything.

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.
                                                               
 ­                                                     
           ­    


                              HAVE A NICE FOUR YEARS.


At least that's what I think high school will be like!

Better than Before
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
You
can't climb over
every mountain
and you can't win
every war.

But one thing that you
can do
is try to be better
than before.
Try to be a better person than you were yesterday.
Apr 2019 · 288
As is
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Nope,
sorry
but I ain't changing.
I am who
I am
and I am what I love.
You're gonna have to accept me
as is.
I'm not gonna be who you want me to be.
I am me.
Apr 2019 · 316
Welcome...
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
You welcomed me
as if I were yours.

As if I were
your daughter,
your child,
your bright little sunshine.

You                   me
welcomed
like no one has before.
With bright smiles
and strong hugs,
you made sure
that I was
loved.
Dedicated to a person who loved and still loves me like I am hers. I just want her to know that I love her, too.

Person F
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
People
A, B, C, and D,
started getting along
and were
somewhat happy.
Who knew that a
Person F
would come and make
such a mess.
The letters started fighting,
hitting,
yelling,
shoving,
shouting.
No one liked that
Person F
who came and made so much distress.
But little did the letters know
that there were
more
letters still to show...
Person F is here!
For all who read my last poem about letters, here is the Person F you've been waiting for! I know it's not exactly in alphabetical order, but I hope you can still enjoy it!

A, B, C, and D
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Person A
and
Person B
were together and
very happy.
Then came along a
Person C
and kinda ruined everything.
But to make things
a bit
more crazy,
came along a
Person D.
Now person
A, B, C, and D
are anything but happy.
Who knew that
letters of the alphabet
could be so nasty.
Inspiration came when one of my friends was explaining a confusing matter to me, and was using letters instead of name(which is good in some cases).

Forgive you?
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Of course
I'll forgive you!
You're my dear friend!
I love everything we do together
and the time
that we spent!

...

But no,
now you've gone a bit too far.
You're not longer
such a big pleasure.
I don't want
to be next to you
or see your face.
Because what you've done
is not something
I can erase.
You've changed too much. And the things you've done I'm not so sure I can forgive you.

Remains
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Digging through the things
you left.
Paychecks, bills;
it's such a mess.
The sight of your name
still brings tears
to my eyes.
I still don't know what brought you
your demise.
I come across a small yellow paper,
my hands shaking,
I wish I could see straighter.
I slowly read
the words on the page,
and my heart quickly fills with rage.
You shouldn't have left,
you should still be here!
Look what you've done!

I wipe a tear.
The yellow paper still in my hand,
so I decide to read
over it again.

I love you, my dear daughter. And I'll do anything for you.
     Wherever I'll be, I'll keep you with me.
                                    

I read it again
and again,
and again.
Those sweet gentle words still resting
in my head.
You might not be here with us anymore,
but for some reason
I feel better than before.
Going through the things that my uncle left before he passed away. It is much harder than I thought it would be.

Never there
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
You were never there.

And you never tried.

You had a chance,
but you stepped aside.

You never read me
stories,
or kissed me
good-night.

You never took me camping,
or even for a bike ride.

Now I'm a big girl,
and you can't buy me toys.

But that's ok,
cuz you never did in the first place,
though you had the choice.
Spend time with your loved ones while you still can.

I wanted you to...
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
i wanted you
to see
but you wouldn't open
your eyes.

i wanted you
to believe,
but all you wanted to you was die.

i wanted you
to feel,
but you ****** away.


i wanted you

to love,

but you didn't go that way.
You've  strayed away.

So I guess you're not foe me. I've tried to do so much for you, but you just threw it all away.

Point B to Point C
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Point B
to
Point C
is a distance
I'm not sure I will ever reach.
But I've moved
from where I stood and so far,
I think that's
pretty good.
At least I've gone from point A to point B...
Apr 2019 · 466
You know you shouldn't
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
You
reach
for
more,
as inside
of you is
a war. You
know you should
stop, but you simply
c   a   n   n   o   t   .
You take the needle,
and what's inside of it
is lethal. Your hand is
s   h  a   k  i   n  g   ,
you know you shouldn't be
taking. But you just can't wait
for that sensation, one that is beyond
explanation. You push it in, into your vein
and through your skin. You sit back,
relax and pray that someone
will find you before
it's too
late.

House
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Your
kindness acts
as a house for me. Your
kind words make me feel warm
and cozy on                 the inside.
Even when                       there's a
  blizzard outside        my window,
   with      you      I      feel      warm.
What do you think? It's still just a draft, but I just wanted to get the thoughts of others.

But you could not love,

And all you did

French Braid
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
My
                     emotions;
tied      
                   together;
as is a        
                              French Braid.
Happiness,          
                         love
.
Anger,                  
                     hate.

Which strand                  
                          should I pick;
which one                  
                         should I use?
Or should I                    
                       just let go
and let them                
                          all

   l   o   o   s   e  ?
Inspired by my French Braid...

Beautiful sunset
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Velvety
purple; bubble
gum pink. Soft, gentle
lavender, bright orange
a bit. A beautiful sunset;
the end of a day. I
hope to wake up
tomorrow and
see it
again.

Our song
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Our
song
tonight
is playing on
the radio. I don't
know why I'm starting to
get tears in my eyes. Perhaps it's
all those things that you said
when you used to pull
me close and
whisper,

I love you more than ever.

After a while
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
After a while,
I start to forget.
From the last time I saw you,
to the moment we met.
Now,
you're just a blur;
and I don't want to remember
everything
we once
were.
The past is in the past.

Keep going

"Ugh, I feel like I'm doing this all wrong!"

I say, frustrated,
looking at my math paper.
The boy
in front of me turns around
and says,
"I feel like I'm doing life wrong, and I still keep going."
My quote and inspiration for today. Thank you, my classmate! :)

I will take the thunder,

It might never come again.

I will take the sunset

Someday it will all be gone.

I will take my flaws
and my mistakes.
And hope that they will only last
for today.
Because someday, they will all be gone. And so will we.

Menace

Your eyes.
A menace.
Yet something so precious.
Your look.
So cold.
Yet as valuable as gold.
Your touch.
So tough.
No feeling of love.
Your words.
A lie.
Only to hurt they try.
And you smile.
Oh, that smile!
Makes you forget about the rest.
Instantly...

your eyes are soft.

Your look is caring.

Your touch is gentle.

Your words are kind.
So who are you really?

Begging for Spring
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
All this snow.
All this  cold.
All those
flowers.
All those sunny hours.

That's what I'm waiting for,
the spring.
Come on,
winter
let go.
Let
spring
come;
please, no
more snow!
Dear winter,
though I love you, I think I'm ready for spring...

Snow Flower
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
The snow.
Several inches thick.
It gives no chance for the
sun to work its
magic.

No green
g r a s s . No
colorful   b u t t e r f l i e s .
No leafy   t r e e s . And
no pretty
f l o w e r s .

But one
flower, braver than
the others, uses all of its strength
to rise and break through
the earth.

Its pretty
pedals,
red,
blue,
yellow,
light up the snow
and beg for spring.

That one pretty flower
inspires others,
though not just flowers.

Us people should,
too,
rise up and shine bright.
So go on and share your bright colors!
Inspired by my superhero friend! :)

Only for us
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
The pretty
flowers.
The people and crowds.
The hours
spent.
All to only bring us
to another end.
The tears
lost.
The money and cost.
The tissues
used.
None will ever heal this wound.
It's only
for us.
To you it is
worthless.
With every second,
your body only gets colder.
But for us,
it's only a sense of
closure.
Because up there, you are enjoying yourself with God. While down here, we're still mourning and crying.

I hope that

you see what we're doing
down here.
But I know it doesn't matter to you;
it's only for us.
To try and bring us a sense of closure.

$86,400
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
Imagine that everyday, someone would give you
86,400
dollars.
Everyday,
you would have to spend every cent of this money,
or else it would all be taken away
from you.
Though you get this money everyday,
you never know
what it's going to end.
What would you buy
for
86,400
dollars everyday?
Remember,
you have to spend it all!
A house,
                        a car,
                                                     a business,
                                                                          an island?
Now how would you react if I told you
that you have this
bank of money
in your life and can use it
as you please?
Is money just
a diget
for you,
or is it more?
Then let me tell you that there are
86,400 seconds
in 24 hours?
How you use this time
and what you do with it
is up to you.
All I can do is suggest you use it wisely.

On that bench.
In the park.
Where the wind
b l e w
my hair
and you
b l e w
me kisses.

Will we ever
do that again;
the things that we did then?
Will we ever
be called
'WE'
or is it now
just a you
and a me?

A Flying Dog
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
Tonight,
I dreamt of a flying dog.
This poor puppy
had a unique talent;
it could fly.
But it was
afraid
to show the others,
it was shy.
It was afraid
of what the others would reply.
Inspiration came to this puppy
when it saw a
flock of geese
fly by.
The poor puppy
covered its head with its paws,
and started to cry.
And that's where I come in.
I walked by
and say this poor puppy
standing by.
"Go on, little puppy,
go on, fly!
"
The puppy tried,
and flew with the geese,
and it was the most beautiful scene!
I felt so special
helping someone get somewhere
through there dreams.
The puppy flew,
as did my heart.
A true dream that inspired this poem.

Four Letters
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
It's only
four letters
put together to make
a word.
Living this is like a living in
a different world.

No sorrow
no pain;
no worry,
no blame.

It's only four letters,
spelling out

is strong and more than enough.
And you can make it happen and pass in on to others.
