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! :)

What i really, really want
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2018
There are lots of things I want;
                   memories that don't haunt.
People that don't lie,
                   life that doesn't die.
People that will love,
                   a person with truelove.
People that will care,
                   a world that will share.
People that will be honest,
                   everyone keeping their promise.
People not fighting,
                    everyday being new and exiting.
People that will love each other,
                     pain from which we can recover.
A world without crime,
                    not worrying about time.
Hearts that won't break,
                   bodies that won't ache.
A man that will love me,
                     a world where we can be free.
A place where people can be heard,
                     a place where people watch their words.
Families that will get along,
                     a world where there will be no wrong.
What has our world turned into? Everyone being judged, everyone being so unkind, everyone being hurt. Why don't we do something? Why don't we start with the "man in the mirror".

Together Forever
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Together forever
is something
we say.
But do things
really work that way?
Or is it
one little thing
that breaks us apart,
and we never
come back together
the way
we were
at the start?

I'm Sorry
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I'm sorry, Mom,
for all those unnecessary things I said.
I'm sorry, Mom,
that I made you cry until your eyes were red.
I'm sorry, Mom,
I hurt you with my words.
Because right now,
inside me things really hurt.
Being a teenager really isn't easy. I often say things that I don't really mean and hurt other with my words.

Beautiful sunset
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
Velvety
purple; bubble

lavender, bright orange
a bit. A beautiful sunset;
the end of a day. I
hope to wake up
tomorrow and
see it
again.

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.

Bruised Bananas
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2020

Isn't it
strange how
bananas are sweeter
where they're bruised?

Why don't we take that as an
example, and be kind
even to those
who bruise
us.

Blue Sky
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Blue sky,
warm day.
My sadness is supposed to
go away.
Yet it lingers in
my heart;
wanting to stay.
It does not hear me say:
sadness,
sadness,
please go away
.

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!

Questions without Answers
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2019

Perhaps,
one day,
everything that
doesn't make sense
will finally make sense.
Questions will be answered,
and we will be satisfied with what we hear.

Or maybe, we will always wonder
what the answers are.
Maybe, we will
always have
questions
without
anwers.


It came out, and I felt as if i had to share it.

I'm on a hunt...
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
I'm on a hunt.
A hunt for love.
No,
scratch that,
I'm on a hunt for true love.

I'll swim over every lake,
I'll climb over every mountain.
I'll do anything it takes
to find the one I love.

The one who will love me,
the one who will care.
The one who will treasure me,
the one whose heart I can share.

I'm on a hunt,
a hunt for true love.
And I'll do anything
to find the one
who will bring me
happiness.
And I'm starting now...

Cars

If you can park it

you haven't bought the right car.

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...

Small Town
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
Small town.
Familiar faces.
I would pick this place
out of all places.
Where kindness is contagious
and love spreads like fire,
this is the place
that makes me like
a writer.
What can I say, I just love living in my small town! It inspires me so much!

Keep going
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
"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! :)

Preparing for Parenthood
Masha Yurkevich May 2019


A good way to prepare for
parenthood
is to talk to rocks because they have similar
listening habits.


Yep, I'm guilty of being a rock to my parents sometimes...

Guilt
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
That feeling
of guilt
just keeps on bringing
me down.
But one question

in me:
why do I feel the guilt

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.

Rock Bottom
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2020

Sometimes

you have to lose everything

and

everyone

and hit the rock bottom

to realize what you've done.


But hopefully we'll find out before we get that far.

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.

Your words
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
I love

One little thing
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Just one little lie
that breaks
us apart.
Just one little sip
that makes us all drunk.
Just one little smoke
that makes us addicted.
Come on,
have a drink;
it's just a liquid.
Come on,
have a smoke,
what, are you still a kid?
It might just be a liquid,
and I might still be a kid,
but these are just a few of the things
that get us killed.

Like Weather
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Why do things
always have to change
like the weather?
One minute
it's cold

Just like
one minute things are good

their not.

He smiled
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
He smiled.
Not a regular, normal smile.
Not a smile that showed all his teeth.
It was a smile that would make you feel on top of the world.
It would make you feel like the only person in the world.
It would make you feel speechless; dumbstruck.
It was a genuine smile; a true one.
Only there was no one to return that smile to him.

It rained today
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
It rained today.
Not water, not just rain.
It rained bullets;
f l y i n g through the air.
The grass was dotted with red.
Not beautiful roses;
but with hearts that bled.
The sky was filled with stars.
Not ones that shine;
but ones that leave scars

What's wrong?
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
You ask me
what's wrong
but I know that you
just don't care.
It won't make a difference
in your life
if I tell you how I feel.
It won't change you
and it won't make me heal.
But I'll tell you
what's wrong.
Here it is:
My life is turning upside down.
Now,
I no longer smile;
all I do is frown.
I can't seem to get a grip,
and everything around me
is seeming to slip.
No now seems
to want to listen to me
and I feel trapped; not free.
I can't seem to
open my eyes
to see what's really going on.
I want to find a person
who will listen to me
and really understand the way I feel.
I want someone
that I can trust,
someone who will make me feel loved.
It feels a little better now that I've said that...

:(

Too hard
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Sometimes,
I feel like I try
too hard
to be who you want be to be.
But you should learn
to appreciate me like this,
because I am me.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Is there
a positive side
to everything?
What about arguing,
what about pain?

What about yelling,
what about shame?

What about crying,
what about illness?

What about heart break,
what about forgetfulness?

Is there a positive side
to everything?

Just trying to keep that smile on my face...

The Inside
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2019

His hair was
l
o
n
g
and
g
r
e
a
s
y.

His teeth could use a brush.

His clothes was old and tattered.

From the outside he looked quite dangerous.

His face was scratched and *****.

He looked hungry and thirsty.

But no one knew that he was a genius,
because they had judged him on being homeless.


His mind worked fast,
but all people thought was that he was an outcast.


And no one even wanted to talk with him,
because we people judge on what we see.


But if only we could forget
that money,
does not make you a wealthy
somebody
.
We all judge. What would it be like if we didn't?

Of you
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
When I see you,
my heart skips a beat.

When I hear you,
I'm all ears.

When I speak with you,
I stutter a bit
and lose my words.

When I see you smile,
I smile back from ear to ear.

When I shake your hand,
I want to hold
it forever.

When I think of you,
I can't stop.

When I dream of you,
I am left
speechless...
A special someone...

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.
