My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWOqWus9XM

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSbkNCtpbx

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDFQ7WGly

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGi0PSlEYQ

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEURxSprLOf

Who Am I?

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafF7pzKfV

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14VQx3lgvk

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn0gxfuuZA

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbDgUNf9dQ

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2vtwss6cH

Fractured Reflection

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMPqa3BXSg

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.

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s3Oh5GdS8

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlACaEy9TN

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhqXTfQP4Q

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQZkMVgGY

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDhcMufgC

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4hJXH6v4y

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TYwZh3W8O

Sister

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP7W6kqkd5

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs1PuR1uCS

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv605g7BRSe

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZHgxpzhv

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSNvYuEzfE

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ofkM8vH0

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6j0CvQq9

Why I Write

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSXoPPdxR

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtLsuRdHjR

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfatnrqX2p

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEMOWH0H8R

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

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO8Pi39u0I

I Long For...

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQB39t3DuF

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerJD4aq3Vt

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhoCs5HQo

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyunRhWyGXk

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVexrBfgxz

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqUFcZOYd

Open my heart

And peek inside

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5omQk53Dn

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qXEKVKwps

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahF2NMRdQa

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9J2mXjtoA

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS1w2EbUHh

Open my heart

And take a look

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVaSzWsXw
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

131Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN62lPXuJZM
