My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcJTvzMC1

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1V9vH2vC

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqvgcr5sKT

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ754uqO70Qg

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM39qg5ATrq

Who Am I?

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON41jnul53

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglrtfqS48i

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqUjq5iIGl

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5tD95KOzn

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGRSrM8uX

Fractured Reflection

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62o29fvxR

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE0dRLRpQB

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpxAo3as5A

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

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjspCkrzf8

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsuH3DcPBw

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzPUHelO1v

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6IEATAiW

Sister

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdoSOdkmfO

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npH11apDO

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8m0lTawlo

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfNr6SGIHP

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODaVFfJE9a

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7RmnCh642

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxUcfPo8hP

Why I Write

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqhdkfChgI

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUjFeF9d5x

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30UNcoF3y3

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzBElK9p2m

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4vVzd0CJh

I Long For...

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWNK9oyKsI

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq8Mm9QiHX

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZX9XSqkq3

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivNRJ6CSn

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXseLUQrl

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm2PPwYROU

Open My Heart

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1rsytq6I2

Open my heart

And peek inside

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOqHNIm7Fp

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfx2Sx1OS

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhEpiD8EeK

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTH22U5Y8q

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEkII6n7F1

Open my heart

And take a look

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphRljHGT8
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTr2KUQCVk
