My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6U5Xxzmmn

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo0I7tCYrm

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu48dt8t6I

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYS8c1BnLu

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAbG2v5SDu

Who Am I?

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmgS9AEj2z

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx4KC3FxRK

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe8u8vN7ZT

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY0cUcVNvX

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBsbZ0OWpZ

Fractured Reflection

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdjG7cyMI1

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.

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7KIsUKnbB

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XpJJBFT5P

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1aQdX2A2o

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOrd6bG4f4

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jYrBGDE3S

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlyFXUxCea

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPXlz3sM4e

Sister

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBDfZJem3a

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3Kn1bVbEL

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWILVp0dE

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIICIkPIri

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMLj6SAe0B

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPS1Mm81F

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ610uw7oCq2

Why I Write

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmez7Lea2EJ

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV1wMnEHZQ

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IuNGMoOR

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtXro4LCCQ

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

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa19ND7R7m

I Long For...

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOw8cQO9y

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSHqcugkPI

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSupG33sHy

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGj1sO5TjD

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9nWhpnL9

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNLRwoQj5y

Open My Heart

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKYOss8NhL

Open my heart

And peek inside

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm5ljIDs1f

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AiDtXFE1L

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6N3f2lg0T

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcOjCSBqOb

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxFaNjcJ8v

Open my heart

And take a look

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vbdS4Zg00
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDLlJLOQg
