Take me with you
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Please,
I whisper to the wind,
take me with you*.
But
the wind
doesn't answer.
I guess it
isn't very well disciplined.
Please,
I say again,
take me with you anywhere.
But the wind
stays silent,
it doesn't seem to care.
It just goes on,
throwing things around in my life everywhere.

Live. Love. Laugh.
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2018
Live;
like there's no tomorrow.
Love;
like you're on borrowed time.
Laugh;
like you'd never been heard.
Care;
like you'd heal the world
Life;
it not very fair.
Try;
and live,
                  love,
                              and
      ­                                 care.

Tomboy
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I'm a tomboy,
but a girl, too.
And just because
I don't show my feelings
don't mean I don't have them,
cuz I do.
I have those feelings,
just like you.
Only I'm better at hiding
them than you.
Sure,
I enjoy working on cars,
lifting tires,
playing guitars.
I can't stand doing my hair,
painting my nails,
drives me crazy, I swear.
But I'm not much different than you;
I have feelings and problems I go through.
I may be tough and have some muscles,
some knowledge in cars,
but I also have troubles.
So please don't treat me too rough,
because I like the feeling of love.
Yep, I'm a tomboy.

Countdown

I

at the clock,
my chin to my knees.
5 more seconds
and I'll never be fourteen.

4 more seconds
the clock ticks so loudly,
spelling out the last seconds so clearly.

3 more seconds
a new chapter of my life.
So very soon, it will arrive.

2 more seconds
I smile to myself.
For a new beginning,
I must first have an end.

1 more second
I  close my eyes.
3, 2, 1

it has arrived
My birthday

Mom Quote

If you take too long to cook dinner,

Hair
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I think our hair
tells a lot about who we are.
Like my hair,
which is curly, crazy, and wild.
Or my mom's hair,
which is short and puffy.
Or my friends' hair,
which is straight and thin.
Or my teachers' hair,
which is perfect and in order.
Or my brothers' hair,
which is just all over the place.
Something that just came to me. I thought that it is mostly true, that our hair can sometimes tell other people about who we are, though some might not agree.

Way Out
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2020


When you think
life
will leave you
hanging

when you think
there
is no more
hope.

Remember
she
is right there waiting.

Always ready
to hit the road.

Her headlights
call you,
the engine
roars.

Just press the
accelerator
and she'll show you
more.

She'll take your worries
far away
and nothing else will
matter.

As long as the arrow on the speedometer
rises
as long as you go
faster.



The beautiful BMW.

She will never let you down

...

as long as you pay for gas

:)

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!

Telling yourself
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Stop .
Stop telling yourself
that you
are bad.
Stop telling yourself
that you will always be
sad.
Stop telling yourself
that you ****.
Stop telling yourself that you
are bad luck.
Just stop.
Start telling yourself
that you are
great.
Start telling yourself
that something great you can create.
Start telling yourself
that you are enough.
This is because
you can
love .
And everyone can love, all you need to do is try.

Why change?
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Why do you want me to change?
Do you not like who I am?
Do you not like

Well I have news for you,

I won't change,
because I like myself
just the way I am.

The Queen's Sweet Scheme

Fantasies and dreams,

Happiness and love are

Still love it
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
It stabs
you in the face
every time
it gets a chance.
It takes
away your breath,
making it impossible to breathe.
It freezes
your limbs
and your insides.
Though it hurts,
I still love it.

  SNOW.
It's a blizzard out there right now...
❄️ Can't wait to get out and see how it feels ❄️

Silent
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2020

Your eyes say it all

You don't need to speak

They say every word

Their meaning so deep

So cold as ice

Yet they glow with fire

They show determination

And desire

Your eyes yell and shout

Speak so loud

They are so vibrant  

Yet you are silent.


Silent yet powerful

The Power of Eyes...
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2019

eyes

...

they can do so much,
sometimes more powerful than words.

A gentle welcome
or
an icy glare.

A nice hello
or
a deathly stare.

A whole
love letter
can be written in one look

Through someone's eyes
you can read them like a book.

Your personality
and your traits,

your feelings
and mistakes.

Your eyes can speak,
your eyes have power.
See what you can tell through the eyes
of the people you encounter.

What can you tell through eyes?

I am Human

I am human.

I make mistakes.

I learn.

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?

With each, I am more ready to die.

He said he would
never
leave me.

He said he was gonna
love me deeply.

He said he was never gonna let me
d

n.

He said he would make a smile
out of each frown.

He said
and I
believed.

Because of him,
it's all this grieve.

The seconds tick by,
inviting me to come.

To join a world that it so
different than this one.

It wouldn't take long,
and soon I'd be there.

No pain, no fear,
and I wouldn't care.

And may this world do whatever
is in its desire.

Flood,
erupt,
or burn down in fire.

And I'd go right now,
and I'd be real glad.

But it's my best friend who's holding me down,
saying that my idea's kinda bad.

She says I should stay,
get along,
let it go...

And with her help,
I'll get through,
I know.


An experience one of my friends had when her relationship went down in flames.
I was so glad that I could help her when she was in this miserable state.
And I'm glad that it had a good ending to it.

Four Letters

She Passed Away
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
She passed away.
Today.
And I just talked to her yesterday.
She was happy and smiling.
She was fighting; she was thriving.
Yet none of us knew that during the night,
it would be the end of her fight.
I came to school today
ready for another Thursday.
But life today took quite a swing,
and it really left me thinking.

Dedicated to Mrs. Lee LeRoy;
may you rest in peace.
You will never be forgotten.
One of my favorite teachers died of a heart attack in her sleep. I wasn't ready for the news; I had just talked and to her yesterday. She was so happy and healthy, I couldn't believe when I was told that she passed. I don't think I've ever seen teachers, and people over all, cry so much. I cried, too. I will miss her so much. At least she is in a better place right now. May Mrs. Lee LeRoy rest in peace.

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! :)

And I often think
that she was sent from above.
She knows when to kiss me,
she knows when to stop.
She knows when to play,
and she knows when not.
She would put her life in danger for me;
I love that puppy.
And I know she loves me.

What if I no longer want to be like you?
What if I don't like this you?
Well,
somehow,

Don't ask me how,
'cause I don't know myself.
Why do I still love you?
What have you turned yourself into?

My Enemy 2
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
I knew that hating her
wouldn't do
any good.
So I tried to talk to her,
I knew I should.
Turns out
she didn't hate me,
which made
me think;
maybe I didn't hate her.
It took many days
until we finally got some place.
We talked to each other
and things seemed to get better.
Now,
my math teacher
get's her payback
for sitting us together
cause' now
she can't turn her back.
My math teacher
scolds us
for talking together
and I wonder
how why we didn't do forever.
Now such great friends
we both are,
and I want us
to stay like that
forever.
Dedicated to my ex-enemy and present friend, Chloe. I don't know how we weren't friends earlier.  
I really hope that we can all make friends from our enemies. That'd be great for everyone.
