My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwMhkiOSTc

I wear of mask of innocence

A mask that shows my youthfullness

I wear a mask of happiness

A mask that shows my brightest smile

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zgm2iUqi

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya87KLsXPp

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwWzOH2Hxu

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd5aUNu1kr

Who Am I?

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSAYlhuTt

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rPdI9Fp3

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ2VggHxQM

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHukFfBWGd1

I am the stars

I am an artist with words

I am a flower that won’t wither away

I am a spring that always bounces back

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7zk9Knd64

Fractured Reflection

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmHEte28Rt

I stare into my mirror.

Dissecting the girl

For a hollow echo

Of the person she once was.

But the glass stays cold and silent;

A sterile cage

For the girl who vanished,

The one who deserted me,

When I needed her most.

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLm1M3Dkfq

The girl who stares back at me

Is not the same eccentric girl…

She is scarred and broken

Hollowed out by life

discarded, so no one sees,

The stranger who cries herself to sleep.

Broken by the world she once loved

Now cursed to haunt my glass

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10YjY7HLcm

My hand reaches out

Only to take her place in the frame

I look out from the other side

And see a stranger staring back once more

Her hair is graying

Her eyes swollen shut

But she is undoubtedly me

So I wait for the next hand to reach in

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY0566Fotz

Smoke: A Signal

Love is a treat I can't afford

Perfection is the goal I'll never reach

Mama is the person I'm supposed to be

Attention is something I strive for

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5FSxVKjLn

The house of my mind is set ablaze

Does the smoke signal for attention or help

Do my tears ask for a comfort or a command

Does my blood boil with rage or envy

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LKHWQUw7Q

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44gKYtdTC

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQn7c6tOuW

Sister

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0DrIiYeq

I miss the girl I used to love

The sister who would laugh with me

The younger sister who would talk to me

I miss the girl my sister was

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxvl6PwA9R

I miss the hugs I’d get from her

I miss the nights she’d cuddle up with me

I even miss when we’d argue

Because we always made up

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUKFeCNRt

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegwJnifHRT

Her secondary language is spoken through her fist

Her smile veiled by a shadow so dark

Yet the silence I receive hurts worse

Than any punch to the face

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdihuNpJ9D

I can’t remember when exactly

It is that she stopped talking to me

I wish I knew what I did

So I could fix my mistake

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzECt52wXKZ

I miss the little girl who cried with me

I miss the baby sister who needed me so much

I miss the games we used to play

And miss the girl who smiled at me and meant it

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3S7CFMOJX

Why I Write

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegSMgCMzb2

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiYcqxqoez

When I write I can face my darkest thoughts

I can confront my deepest secrets

I can find comfort in the words I put onto paper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWIxAmIa0

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblU0XfHlYV

I write to let out all my inner aggravations

With myself and others

I write to find peace in the past,

Focus on the present,

And dream of the future

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp4gK0UMh5

I Long For...

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqLlSKC3jq

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbzTeOthdu

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsO7eS611s

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOAMHlPyjt

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKqxD9rPgO

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJK1b9x4QC

Open My Heart

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMopCsY6gtt

Open my heart

And peek inside

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagGaWstTOh

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim4QvgWMLA

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVViYnn3J

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMwkJ4nd51

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIyVIAQH91

Open my heart

And take a look

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vCs1ebw34
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMHVhtALBb
