My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfWG3NpUbU

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gtgLUUsmX

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWDpJz3gsl

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXK1VzILVW

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKDJPvncw

Who Am I?

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GF3irScD

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtz1wS1BOU

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBn9TWHcAQ

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYBb08Ktm7

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCzxxfKdPU

Fractured Reflection

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHoxAsWAKN

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.

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS2TlftND3

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI9gJhQSdt

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlURRe4EYa

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0lhE3yo4R

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWP63iy5pC

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSfh7AUeoN

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmWFYUBCsr

Sister

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2tUhbEVvq

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckNWAlqF2E

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcARftbC3ZJ

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5R1Q7OTFo

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcPDSLZgA

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIvYxx8Wq

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8SLTBfWO

Why I Write

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmDLFteg5m

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd1QLC9pIP

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFFoflcSdi

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwMbapwM7z

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XWh8LrC9H

I Long For...

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPjRlgNQIv

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUpvXJJqbl

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7EGTfYRZq

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc67YcvW0lJ

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs1DDQ0KWP

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthtiBWhJ4

Open My Heart

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXxVMEMARt

Open my heart

And peek inside

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBrLWmwK3F

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbh62gtu7C

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xl328hx7h

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb95W1FG3p

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHUvQxjbOj

Open my heart

And take a look

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUmgKYLwD
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmeyuRwPWa
