My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gAJXZ6EpF

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqUtsL8oJ6

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1klR86gYn

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA79bjNL60

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQljDUVFt5

Who Am I?

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTe37lf795

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQfD973V8r

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrZINy9Rii

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kGNQyyZqH

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0POmaQJ1Z

Fractured Reflection

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8xSo87NKR

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.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2sOZyUL3R

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV09HF2gZZ

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjFRuiFlbY

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyyjT5U7Ki

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDXEc567EM

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO3Fr6kmdT

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWDAQ4Nxg

Sister

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPiPfuMHFy

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs9o6akCVO

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRicLxTNm1

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUOwPbQIwy

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHN5X8Z512

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwimz2xWrT6

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kXN6bkV9

Why I Write

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYMbnmlAJa

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFD54PeWvH

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lHguLm6i0

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zQ4pxeKSA

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

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmucZ3yLrz

I Long For...

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYt6U00g6

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtR7ot5sXH

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5Af7bGi9

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PsPQH5AeC

Upon all those

Who have hurt

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmca3wmsFzj

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj5xvIUntk

Open my heart

And peek inside

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBna20lQsV

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUrcXJzHIi

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaYp2dEufs

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIina73rXaS

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvt8pyUFw

Open my heart

And take a look

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWOe7dkwFG
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaqvpMop6b
