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.

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?
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.

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).

I dream of a better world
where chickens can cross
the road and not
be questioned
about their motives.
Just somethings to hopefully brighten your day...

Sometimes 'love'

is not a big
enough word

to describe the way
I feel for you.
Is there are word that can mean more than love?
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.
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
I finally realized
that people are prisoners
of their phones.
That's why it's called a
"cell" phone.
Wow! I just realized this! And it actually makes sense! :)
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
...

Sometimes,
a certain smell
reminds me of something.

I cannot remember
where that smell is from,
only that it brings back memories.

...
And those memories aren't always good, but they are still memories.
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.
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.
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
She sat

right down


and listened to everything
I had to say.
Not once did she
show any sign of wanting to
go away.
She sat there and listened not making
            a noise. And when I was done              
                   talking, I knew that talking                  
                               to her, I had made                                  
                          ­                    the right                                                
choice.
Turns out my dog is a great listener! :)

Aim for
the Moon, because
even if you miss, you'll land
somewhere among
the stars!
Don't give up and go on!!!
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
All day
I wait,
and I wait,
and I wait.
Just so that I can come home,
to sit down
and play.
To touch those silky
black and white keys,
and to play the music
that comes out a piece of me.
All day I sit through school, work, homework...
All day, I just wait and think to myself about what a reward I will get when I get home. I always know that my beautiful piano will always be there, waiting for me, and that is my reward.
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
There will always be another
                   
     
      n t

that I'll have to move.
There will always be another battle,
and sometime I'll have to lose.
In life, you can't always win.

If I had 88 keys in my life,
I could show you something great.
A world of no judgement and cries
a world of no fear and hate.


If I had 88 keys in my life,
you’d never see anybody worry.
You’d never see anybody cry;
you’d see the world in all it's beauty.

If I had 88 keys in my life,
I’d let you feel all the greatest feelings.
I’d let you feel the rain, the sunshine,
the pain, and everything would be just fine.


but i  can’t


You don’t want to believe
that this dangerous world we can leave.  
We can use our imagination,
to make a whole, new great nation.

You don’t want to think that all this trouble can go away.
You think that we have to stay.
You think we don’t have to do anything,
you don’t want to do anything.


But anyone can make a difference,
and try to take away this bitterness.
But you just don’t want to try,
you’re just going to sit there and die.

Life isn’t really fair,
and you just really need to care.
to touch the heart of someone else,
You first need to change yourself.
It bothers me so much on how some people just don't care. All of these school shootings and other horrible tragedies just seem to worsen. I pray that they will get better and that everyday, this world will be more safe, kind, and caring.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
I find it surprising  
that animals can sometimes
understand us
better than people.
Their eyes;
full of love and hope.
Their attitude;
showing care and gentleness.
Words are not needed
for them to tell us their love for us.
And yet we,
humans,
cannot love each other
the way animals can love us.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Yesterday
was my parents'
anniversary.
May they always
be together
and happy
forever.
Dedicated to my parents; mother and father.
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
You know how you're so

helplessly in love

with someone that you would do

anything

to make them happy?
I think that feeling is called love, but I'm not sure...
Masha Yurkevich May 2019
You bring me to the
verge of tears
then make me hear your
fake apologies.
If all you do is bring me
suffering and pain,
then why should I give you a second chance
and let you do it all over again?
I don't know how much
l          o           n           g           e           r
I can live like this;
my life anything but a
perfect bliss.
I'll put my
LIFE
at risk
to do anything but
live like this.

Why should I take
all this
agony and pain?

I think it'd be better if I just

        


                                                ­                     went away.
And ended everything today...
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
There hasn't been
a person
that I have ever met
that is anything
close to a pet.
Someone
who will just sit stare,
some one
who will always be there.
Someone
who will be with you when you're lonely,
someone
who will let you know that you are
their one and only.
A pet can give you so much pleasure,
and memories
that you can always treasure.
Sometimes I think that my pets love me more than my people...
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?
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
As a family we stand,
together we fall.

We lose one,
we lose them all.
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 Feb 2019
You've come into
my life.
But you did bother me,
                                                         or annoy me,
                                                                                             or hurt me.                
                      You didn't remind me of
the p a i n f u l  memories
or the bad times.
Instead,
you were that shoulder I could cry on;
you were my rock.
Your arms put me on the right path.
You were that
trustworthy,
honest,
caring
friend that more people
need to have.
A HUGE thank you to all who have helped me get through the tough time of losing a loved one. I thank you all very much, and without you, my life would have been so much darker and harder. Thank you all so much. I am so lucky to have friends like you! :-)
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019


Congratulations


You did something
that you were
told to do.

So why
are you
awaiting praise
for doing something
you should have done
in the
first place?
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Breathe.
It's a
bad day,
not a bad life.
Gather yourself
together
and go
on.
Keep on going!
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.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
And now,
because of you,
I will keep asking myself
if I am the reason
why you
left.
Masha Yurkevich Dec 2018
I keep on waiting
until I will be with you.
When you will come into
my room before bed,
tell me good-night,
kiss me lightly on the cheek,
and make things feel right.
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...
:)
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
I want
to believe that
you left
at
the best
possible time.
When you and
the
big man upstairs
had talked
about
what would
happen after your
lifetime.
And I truly hope you did.
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.
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2018
Roses are red,
Voilets are blue.
There is always a person,
who's better than you.
I don't know. It just came to me during the night and I decided to remember it and write it down. I guess that the main idea it that there are always people who are better than you. If anybody thinks of another meaning for this poem, let me know.
Masha Yurkevich Apr 2019
I
was
a
star
you a
black hole.
You drew me in,
my heart and soul.
But you could not love,
for that part was fake.
And all you did
was make my
heart
b r e a k .
Masha Yurkevich Mar 2019
Be that
one flower that
blooms
in the mud.
You can't always
bloom
where you want to,
but you can
bloom
wherever life puts you.
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
.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
I think
that lots of things
are like books.
You can't judge them
on their looks.
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
Do not
let your
mistakes
bring you down.
Instead,
use them as an
opportunity
to rise higher than before.
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
You ask me how I am,
I tell you
"I'm ok."
But you do not see what I
really mean,
because I mean
I am

There is an ok in broken

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.

I'm having a horribly

busy day

converting

oxygen

into

carbon dioxide.


No, really...
;-)
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
But then
when things seem
to get so good,
I just want to forget
all of those painful
things that you said.
But then
when things get rough
and tough
and I don't feel any love,
I remember all
of those painful memories
that filled my life with
fear and worries.
I remember
those words
that stained my life;
those words
that stabbed me
like a knife.
I remember
all of those painful things
and what you did
to cut off my wings.
Masha Yurkevich Feb 2019
I'm
                           screaming,
                              
yelling,
          
                         calling

your name.
But either I
have lost my voice
or you
do not want to hear me
no more.
Masha Yurkevich Nov 2018
I'm so bad at letting things go.
Whether it's a kitten, a friend, or even the last snow.
                   I don't know and I will never know,
why in my life I just can't let things go.
                  I can't let things go;
I hold on too tight.
                  Because in my heart, letting go just isn't right.
I can't say goodbye,
                  I'm too scared; I'm too shy.
I can't let things go,
                  I get too attached.
And every time I try to let something go,
                 my heart gets a new scratch.
But I'll keep on trying,
                 even if it hurts.
I'll keep on trying,
with all of my effort.
I can't let things go. I just simply can't. it hurts me so much when I have to, but I just can't. I've tried, and I'm still trying. And I'll keep on trying, because my heart can't take much more.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
At
night,
I can't sleep.
In the
morning,
I can't wake up.
What is wrong with me?
I think that
my mind is a little
messed up.
It's true about me
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.
Masha Yurkevich Jan 2019
Sometimes
I think that you
could careless
about me.
I might be your kid,
and you could be might my parent,
but sometimes
I think that you treat me more like a carrot.
I grow by myself,
I get my own nutrition.
I get my own life,
I get my own attention.
You do not care about me,
at least that's what I think.
But even carrots
cannot be on their own.
You do not care if I come home ****** red or sick orange.
