Won't let me sleep
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
They won't let
me sleep.
Those memories,
cuts that are
so d e e p .
Memories;
sour and sweet,
some bad,
others that I want to keep.
Tears
begin to seep.
I can't forget these
things. I want
to sleep.
That's what you get when you think too much before bed...

Tell Me
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2019

Tell me why you're doing this,
tell me, so that I will know.


Tell me, but my answer will stay the same.
Tell me, and I will say
no.


When kids at school ask if you want to vape with them or get high,
my answer will always be a solid no.

Worst Thing
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Trusting you
was the worst thing I could have done to myself.
Listening to you
was the worst thing I've ever heard.
Thinking of you
was the worst thing I've ever thought of.
Looking at you
was the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Feeling you
was the worst thing I've ever felt.
Loving you
was the worst thing I've ever loved.
Leaving you
was the best thing I could have done.
At least at the moment.

No matter what
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
I know
I’m not always
the best I can be.
Sometimes
I am moody,
and sometimes
I’m mean.
But you use your patience
and your strong love, too.
And you’re always there
with me,
no matter what
I’m going though.

40 days
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
It's been
40 days
and I'm still
thinking about you.
You're not here
anymore
and I still can't believe
that it's true.
I hope that
up there
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.

Same Sunset
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
Maybe the two different worlds
we lived in weren't so different.
We saw the same sunset.
From one of my absolute favorite books, The Outsiders. I strongly suggest it to anyone and everyone. It is one of those books you must read in your lifetime.

Where have you been?
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
Where have you been
when I needed you the most?

Where have you been
when I needed a hand to hold?

Where have you been
when I cried myself to sleep?

Where have you been
when I was so scared and weak?

Where have you been
when I need your help?

Where have you been
when pain was all I felt?

Don't come back now;
I do not want you.

You weren't there
when I needed help to get through.

Don't come into my life
if you weren't there in the first place.

I don't want you.
Stay away.

Not True
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Rose are red,
violets are blue.
Why don't you love me
if I love you?

You made my  
                          roses red,
and my
violets blue;                            
but when I asked you
if you loved me,
none of it was

It's more than enough
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


I don't need money
and
I don't need fame.

I don't need beauty.
They all lead to pain.

All I need is you,
your heart and your love,

And already,

that's more than enough.

Upside down
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Turn that
frown

You're breathing and
alive
and you can see

There are people that

so don't complain
get up and
continue!

Friends Update
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2019

To all,
a huge thanks!
So far,
two new friends!

And instantly,
high school got so much nicer,
when you have someone to sit with,
and someone to talk to.

So I'm not alone,
there are others looking for friends.
And to all who helped me make it this far,
I owe you a huge thanks.


I huge thank you to all who have given me advice or simply encouraged me with kind words and comments!

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.
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2018
You and me;
together, under that big willow tree.
Laughing, smiling.
Your beautiful brown eyes shining.

I sit in my room,
dreaming about my beloved bridegroom.

My mind drifts off in my fantasies,
I think to myself, please...



I am still here,

                                                                       waiting for him to find me...

$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.

Good-night
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
As I pull the covers
over myself,
I know the day
has come to an end.
I think of you
as I close my eyes,
and remember our last goodbyes.
You may not be here
with me anymore,
but you will be in my heart forever.

Surfing
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Life comes
   in waves.                
Just don't                            
regret letting                                  
one get by                                              
that could take                                                  
you on the ride                                  
     of your life.
Take that wave of opportunity and surf it all   :)

Above
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I really think
that there's a God above,
who teaches us
about love.

How we should always
forgive others
for the scars,
the chaos,
and the pains
they cause.

A big enough word
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
Sometimes 'love'

is not a big

My Enemy
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
I have this one
enemy,
who I hate so much.
I don't talk to her
during clases;
I avoid her during lunch.
She hated me,
I hated her;
we both hated each other.
I've done
no bad to her,
she's done
no bad to me,
but we just didn't mix,
and that
was clear.
I don't know
why I hate her so much,
but to me,
she always looked like
a bad image.
That was all until
my math teacher did something
against my will.
She sat us together;
my enemy and me.
I didn't think that I'd get through
that class,
but I did...
barely.
The next day
I hated my enemy even more
than ever before.
I hated her so much
I wanted her
to go straight
to hell.
But soon
something changed;
I'm not sure what,
but I could tell.
I'm not a big fan of writing 'long' poetry, but here it is. I really felt like I had to write this. I will add on a second poem to go with this soon, I just don't have the time now. Anyways, hope you enjoy this!  :-)

Tough Enough
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
You were
tough;
that was clear.
You were
rough;
you had no fear.
You were

you had brains, you were no fool.
Yet I was,
and fell for you.
Tough guys...

Give me Love
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
If you won't give me freedom,
give me love.

If you won't give me happiness,
give me love.

If you won't give me money,
give me love.

If you won't give me kindness,
give me love.

Whatever you give me,
GIVE ME LOVE.
Because love can give truly anything.

Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
I'm trying not
to think

All I can see are those

All I can hear are

All I can feel is that
gentle touch.

I miss you so much.
What did I ever find in you?

what I show or what I hide.

What I feel and what I say

You don't know
what I'm going through,
or if the smile I show is false or true.

You don't know the situation I'm in,
or the rock and hard place that I am between.

You don't know me or where I'm going
but that's alright by me.
We're all busy, going somewhere,
just please do not judge me.


You never know someone's situation...

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...

Thought Check

How can you tell what's on

wake up.

A 'Cell Phone'

My Strange Feelings
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
My strange feelings;
you inspire me to write.
Invading my mind day and night.
I love the way you always change;
making me feel happiness,
anger,
and rage.
Let me compare you to November,
a month of dreariness and fog.
A month that seems so long.
A month that makes me lost in my thoughts.
A month where weather in unpredictable.
A month that seems like trouble and dull.
My strange feeling
and much like November.
Unpredictable,
strange,
troubled,
changed.

We cried.
All this pain.
Tears coming down like rain.
He's not coming back.

In the blink of an eye,
he was able

Any suggestions on how to deal with losing loved ones?

Strangest Things
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I treasure the strangest things.
Like the socks you gave me.
To me,
they mean more than any diamond rings.
Their smell reminds me
of your skin.
Their softness reminds me
of your touch.
Their look reminds me
of your beauty.
I treasure those socks.
I got socks from one of my best friends on Christmas. I sleep with her socks, touch those socks, eat with those socks... I love those socks.
I swear, I will put those socks under inch thick glass to protect them.

60 Seconds

What would you take in 60 seconds?
Your wallet, your phone?
Anything else that you own?
Let me tell you something.

DON'T

Anything money can buy
you leave it behind.
Instead,
take what money won't get.
Your heart,
your love,
your happiness,
your family,
your friendships,
your memories,
your relationships.
These things are priceless.

So think again...

What would you take in your 60 seconds?

To Speak

I want to be

Your painful words
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
Don't break my heart;
I only have one.
Instead, open your ears and take a listen.
All those painful words you say,
they don't touch me;
nope, no way.
They fly right past me;
they don't hurt me, clearly.

for now...

But you don't stop.
And sooner or later,
some of those words are going to get caught.
They'll make me feel
useless,
stupid,
hurt,
upset,
angry,
confused,
bad.
They'll scar me, won't let me go on.
Inside me, I'll never feel calm.
You and your bad words,
you can leave.
Go away and leave me in peace.
Don't hurt me with your words,
don't hurt anyone with them.
Don't use your bad words.
Ever. Again.

Extension cords

Yes!
Finally,
the light came on.


But I had to

I wrote this referring to my mind, when I finally understood a math problem after multiple attempts.
Every little thing that I was told worked like an extension cord, giving me my final end result.
