A rose in the grass,
plucked from the bush.
It'll die soon.
They all do.

A butterfly on the swing,
on a cool summer evening.
It just came out of the cacoon.
Some don't make it this far.

A little girl,
on the top of the slide.
Smileing from ear to ear.
Don't you wish we were all that happy?

Freeze time and all is beautiful.
There is no pain.
There is no hurting.

Freeze time and all is well.
The frowns are smiles,
The tears are dried.

Freeze time,
but it must resume sometime.

Pain is a strife
With strife,
I write.

No matter what I'm feeling,
no matter what I say,
just a smile from that boy
brightens up my day.

He is one of my best friends.
I've known him several years.
He's been there for me for everything:
the smiles, the anger, the tears.

I love that boy to death.
He's been there through it all.
I know he has my back,
and he'll catch me when I fall.

That boy is my best friend.
Girl, you better treat him right,
'cause if you don't, I can promise
there's gonna be a fight.
I like him as a brother only!! We've been friends since birth, as our parents were friends. He got with the girl that he's had a crush on for a year. I don't like her at all, but he's told me time and time again that he'll be fine and that nothing could come between me and him.

Here you have glitter
Here you would have fallen
I am prepared to embrace
Set aside your crying
It will lead to your downfall.

So put the tears in your pocket,
save them for when you are alone.
Because nobody can see your tears.
Nobody can see your hurt.
Because it can and will be used against you.
This is a good example of how songs can influence my writing.
The first line was inspired by If I Die Young
The last was inspired by Just One Yesterday

You text me last night,
saying you wanted me to feel no pain.
You said thats why you made me promise,
to quit inflicting it upon myself.
But you also said,
that it is also the reason,
you had to make us end.
The End,
of so many things came last night.
The end of that promise,
The end of us.....
The end.

The girl I used to be
was happy and free
But the darkness came and took it away
What happened to the girl who was once joyful and bright?
The one who used to hold so much light?
Mykenzie Oct 2018
The girl has been here all along.
Cant't you hear her sing her song?
The darkness can't hide
The light's too strong
It retreates back
to where it belongs
The girl
Is here
Happy and free
To say she's gone
The darkness took her
You were wrong
The laugh she gives, makes her stronger
Listen again to her song
Let your heart feel the words, and seep into your skin
Once again, feel the light She'll have lifelong

As the seconds pass...
We look back...
Of what our lives have held...
As the minutes pass...
We see what fell through the cracks...
Parts of our lives we withheld...
As the hours pass...
We think of what we learned...
What we have taught...
What we have forgot...
As the days pass...
We wish a lot could be returned...
We wish we would of never fought...
You hope they forget-me not...
As years pass...
You stand alone...
They have all grown...
Married and gone...
Or on their own...
As your life passes...
You stand proud...
Looking how well they raise their own...
You did well...
Live on...

Roses are red, Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, perhaps so are you.
The roses are wiltes, the vilets now dead.
The sugars bowl's empty, your wrists stained red.
The sun isn't shining, the sky's not clear.
There is no silver lining, because you're no longer here.
Rain keeps pourings, with no end in sight.
You're lying there frozen, too far from the light.
Your beauty was unreal, your smile was the sun.
But time can't be turned, your actions undone.
The words that you wrote, that only I read.
"I love you so much. Please don't cry when I'm dead"
A bond we formed, a love that ran deep.
A pain that we shared, a friend I could keep.
I wanted to hold you, wipe the tears from your eyes.
Been there the moment you said your goodbyes.
I want to forget, but most times I don't.
I want to let go, but I know that I won't.
Tears on my face, memories in my head.
The roses have wilted, The violets are dead

I could skip a heartbeat, and I would survive,
I could be in a car crash, and still be alive.
The clouds could fall out of the sky,
The oceans could disappear, and all turn dry.

These things in life are all bad I know,
but there's far worse things,
just thought you should know.

Life would not be the same without someone like you,
You're there when I need you to help me through.
Through the good times and through the bad,
Be them happy, or be them sad.

I don't have to be with you, to know you're there,
We don't have to see each other, to know that we care.
We could be apart for years upon end,
and still remain the best of friends.

Life goes on, and people change,
And through it all, our friendship shall remain the same.
That's such as a life, and how things come to be.
Just thought you should know,
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.
Mykenzie Mar 2019
I don't wanna lose you
Mykenzie Mar 2019
You mean everything to me
Mykenzie Mar 2019
I know you're gonna leave me eventually...
but I'm going to try to postpone it for as long as possible
Mykenzie Mar 2019
I really, really like your hugs....
Can I have more?
Mykenzie Mar 2019
He likes me,
He likes me not...
He likes me

I can hear the time passing
Tick..Tock
Can you?
Tock..Tick
I hear it passing
with every missed chance and
every failed oppurtunity

Sometimes,
I think about all the things
that I could've done differently.

Everytime,
My mind wonders back to you,
to me, to us.

All the time,
I think about why we ended
and how I could've stopped it.
Mykenzie Jan 2022
sometimes
I think of you
and all that we done together

sometimes
I don’t think of you
at all

Why are titles
so important?

Can't we all just be nameless?
Mykenzie Oct 2017
Unfortunately I:
[] Fall to fast
[] Crash too hard
[] Care too much
[] Forgive too easy
[] Wait too long
[] Miss people I shouldn't
[] Worry over nothing
[] Overthink everything
[] Am too complicated to be loved
[x] All of the above
Check the boxes
Mykenzie Feb 2019
So many unsaid words
hang in the silence
between us
Mykenzie Dec 2017
Roses aren't always red
And violets aren't exactly blue.
The society we live in
doesn't always speak the truth.

Smiles aren't always happy,
and frowns aren't always sad.
People judge to quickly,
and our feeling are too easy to forget.
I Couldn't think of a good title ><

She told him
"Unbreak the broken,"

so he did just that,
and fixed a heart
beyond repair.

So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough

Valentines day.
It's just around the corner.
A day for lovers,
to announce to the world.
While all alone
I sit.
On my bedroom for.
Watching reruns of Supernatural,
Sherlock, and Dr. Who.
But will I be sad that nobody is there for me?
Why would I be?
Will I be upset,
that I don't get chocolate or teddy bears?
Why would I be.
I dont need a guy to give me candy,
or stuffed animals.
Its all fake anyway.
So, no.
I wont be upset,
I'll be as happy as ever, if not happier.
Because I can have guys as friends,
without feeling guily,
I can eat what I want, when I want,
and not feel like I'm disappointing anyone
Mykenzie Apr 2018
Everything was simple
Everything was fine
I knew I couldn't have you
And I knew why

I tried to move on
I dated other guys
But then when we'd hang out
I knew I had lied to myself

You noticed me drifting
You said, "Please explain"
But I didn't want to loose you
So, I tried to deal with the pain

It's hard to be with you
It gets harder each day
When I look into your eyes
I feel my body floating away

I miss the way it used to be
You don't feel the change
You don't know I really love you
I'm sure to you; it's just a game

As I close my eyes tonight
I'll pray as I was taught to do
I'll pray that you realize that
I love you, but I can't have you.
Mykenzie Feb 2018
I know that I'm not.
But I want to be wanted.
I want to be the girl people look to,
when they need a shoulder to cry on.
I want to be the girl that people were afraid to lose,
But I'm not her anymore.
I once was, but that's long gone.
I miss that me,
I miss my friends,
I miss the ones that used to love me.
Mykenzie Jan 2019
The love that should've been,
was actually the opposite.

Never destined to work out,
never destined to last.
Mykenzie Nov 2018
I think of all out memories
The good,
The bad,
The pretty,
The ugly.

I remember every single thing you said,
my responses.

I remember the very last words you said to me,
"I love you, but I'm sorry"

Funny, because you don't seem very sorry
for all that you did to me..
Mykenzie May 2018
They ask me if I still love you.

I blush, grin and say;

of course.

Why?

Because your eyes are of the most utter ocean blue,

but other days they're the currents of the stormy grey sea.

I see a current of salty water, deep, once blue, but now a faded grey.

I see a bundle of darkened grey clouds in the distance,

and the thunder rumbles from your irises,

and I hear it pound in the back of my mind.

I wonder if you knew.

I see a spark of lightening flash, only once in a while,

while you look at her.

My throat corrodes with bile.


She says she sees green demons lurking in the depth of my own ocean currents,

and I shrug.

What am I supposed to say?

I know you think about her.

Night and day.


The hardest part,

is a generic, old saying

If you love them,

you let them go.

If they love you enough to stay,

or to come back,

you never let go.

But what happens if you never come back?

I need you....

Please come back

Where is that little girl of innocence
The one that grabbed the reigns
and learned to dance
That laughed out loud
every chanced she had
Where is that little girl of innocence

Where is that little girl who used to pray
For the less fortunate
in hopes they would be saved
From the heavy hand of sorrow
that too often gives itself away
Where is that little girl who used to pray

Where is that little girl who used to smile
Has her world grown weary
with every passing mile
You can speculate all you want
yet still wonder after awhile
Where is that little girl who used to smile

Where is that little girl who used to dream
Did she find out what life's about
and woke up with a scream
Where reality so it seems
justifies all the means
Where is that little girl who used to dream

Where is that little girl I used to know
Did she lose her innocence
along the dirt road
I pray the day I see
her smile once again shown
As I dream of the little girl I used to know
Mykenzie Mar 2018
If I asked who you were,
would you know much more than your name?

Would you know what you ant to name your kids,
or who your husband is going to be.

Could you telle your lineage,
or where you were born?

Could you tell me any of these things,
If asked who you were.

Would yoou know much more than your name?
Mykenzie Feb 2019
"This too shall pass"

But will it?

Will the pain of losing a loved one
really ever truly pass?

Will it go away just like a scraped knee,
or a broken heart.

I think not..

Wishes
are simply that..

wishes
are daydreams

Wishes
can be reality,

wishes
are unlikely

You
I watch,
and rewatch the video from that day.
The one where we were all happy.
The day of our first kiss. We were smiling and laughing.
I still have the pictures that our friends took.
The ones that you helped me hang up, they haven't moved.
I rewatch,
and I stare at the picures,
as I lie in bed, unable to sleep again.
Hoping,
Wishing,
That you'd come back.
But I know you won't,
for you were forbidden to speak to me.
I never knew why,
All I knew was that you started ignoring me.
Your friend was the one to tell me,
and the one to pass on my words to you
"I miss you. Come back when you can, Please
I love you"
You
Mykenzie Apr 2019
You
You weren't my first
but I sure do hope that you're my last
Mykenzie Sep 2018
You are the sun to my day
You are the moon that creates the waves in my ocean
You are the flowers in my bouquet
You are the whimsy of my notions
You are the smile that brightens my day
And the thought of you sets it all in motion
Mykenzie Mar 2018

You are Not a name
or a height, or a weight,
or a gender
You are Not an age
You are Not where you are from

You are your favorite books,
and the songs stuck in your head.
You are your thoughts
and what you eat for breakfast

You are a thousand things,
But everyone chooses to see a million things you are not
You're beautiful.
You're perfect.
You're enough.

— The End —
