I will let you pass
since you are not here to stay-
will we meet again?

Chase
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I do not want you
to chase after me-
all I want is for someone
to care about my return.

In the End
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
In the end,
I have no one
to blame but myself.
I ruined me-
I did it myself.

Inevitable
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Acknowledgement does
not equal attachment and
most of the time it is inevitable
to get lost in one or more
of these states of mind.
It is inevitable not to miss
what you once attached
yourself to.
Mar 2022 · 137
No Longer
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I will no longer
know anything about you
and you will no longer
remember my name.
I will no longer
cross your thoughts
and you will no longer
dream about me.
I will no longer
share your warmth
and you will no longer
hold these hands.

Propaganda

Propaganda
does not work because
people are dumb,
it works because people
want to believe.

Back to Life
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
There are days where
I miss you so much that
these sunflowers wither and die.
Make your arms my garden and
your smile the sun that
brings them back to life.

Sweet Nostalgia
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
I am a bee in the
sunflowers of memories.
I find shelter and solitude
underneath the petals
and harvest that sweet nostalgia
of this garden we once shared.

Your Garden
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
Each one of your smiles
is a sunflower planted in my soul.
Dispel of this darkness and despair
and cover it with your garden.

Your Smile
Mitch Prax Mar 2022
It was easier when you were here.
You filled each day with a joy
I have not found since you.
No matter what came my way,
your smile was enough
to make me forget the pain
at the end of the day.

Scattered Stars
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Some of us are scattered stars
without a solar system in the vast
and unforgiving cosmos.
We may not be part of a constellation
or host a planet and its life
we could sustain but
we still shine as bright
as any other star.

Summer Night
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Alone again on
this summer night.
No emotions this evening,
not even any thoughts or sensations.
The ambience consumes me
as I give into the abating ambience.
There will be no dreams tonight,
but also no fear.
Feb 2022 · 135
Give Water
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I want to give water
to the garden of memories
and flourish these
withered sunflowers
that kept me warm
so very long ago.

In My Dreams
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Who are you?
I do not know you,
yet you come to me
in my dreams and leave me
wanting more.

Chasing a Ghost
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I got tired of fantasizing,
of giving into the illusions and
drowning myself in nostalgia that
I can no longer attain.
I am tired of chasing a ghost,
but tomorrow I may give
into the haunting
once again.

The Storm
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
This heartache screams your name,
a thrashing storm that leaves
this heart in ruin.
Your thunder has
sliced open this heart
but these memories are made of sunshine.

Dreams
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
I still dream about you
from time to time.
Sometimes I wish to not wake up,
sometimes they turn into nightmares.
Either way, I am sad when I wake up
to see that you are gone.

Feel You

Though I may not see you
if I close my eyes,
my body still feels you

you're gone.

Dancing in the Sunlight
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
You are the sun
shining upon me,
a withering sunflower,
from dawn until dusk.
We dance in the sunlight
and dream in the twilight
and flourish every day
underneath your brilliance.
So keep on beaming your magic
down upon this Earth
and make your alluring spell
last forever.

Diary Excerpts #57

Dear Diary;
why do I feel the
need to sabotage myself
whenever something good
happens in my life?
Do I really feel
that undeserving?

In the Ocean

That is why the costal cities

Soul

The soul does not reside in the chest,

Seeds & Salt
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Some people
plant seeds in your heart
and grow only the purest of things
while others
seek to cut them down
and salt the earth of your soul.

Warped
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
Social media has a
way of warping reality
for good or for worse.
Do not let it make you feel left behind-
the only person you should be
comparing yourself with
is yourself.

100%
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
It may not seem like it,
but no one,
not one person,
has their life 100% together.
Everyone has their struggles
and everyone shows it in different ways.

Phoenix
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
And now we say goodbye
to what we thought would never end.
I can't believe it,
it's really over
and what do we have to show for it?
ashes and anguish.
All we can do now is
rise up like a phoenix
and learn from
our mistakes.

Illusions
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
The only thing we
should depend on is ourselves.
Everyone else is just an illusion-
do not fall for it.
So live life your way-
there is no other way.

You Are It
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
The sunflowers
smile through you.
They know they can live through you
from the aura that you radiate.
They have trusted in you
their power and beauty
because you are it.

Stars Above
Mitch Prax Feb 2022
These memories blanket me
like the cosmos above-
countless worlds I will
never experience.
The stars above sparkle
like the unsaid words and
our broken promises-
out of reach yet oh
so beautiful.
