My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFbDNJCuUV

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ857PElss4G

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7xAMZ3wzi

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuGxNZarq5

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRR45DmKnM

Who Am I?

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFtqQz1PK1

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsXIWLIeDY

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxUrACVwSD

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D22fwJyeV

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUP8GDtyRp

Fractured Reflection

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ5xHTZXBR

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.

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYRNanJhVo

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3rTh6BY7D

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN571dFmolI

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lR6LE9oma

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE2WbX1RBq

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBYLGczwK

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Am2Z1OB9A

Sister

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjUJmWqxcW

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYDPhEpUIp

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR6EkDXwtP

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8mmZ3LXAo

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU09eWEa6pw

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3WDaNlYk6

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDMtDnflkl

Why I Write

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cgY5PeJ2y

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwuxktcuMG

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM0LRtmbdq

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu25GtMcvZi

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

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2OjAMPX4Z

I Long For...

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1iBEqLG7

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvS4sGKbst

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTadMmQLkQs

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlN9pwi9K8

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv4puKebL9

I long for me

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lRG5tY1q2

Open My Heart

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmu2r6IH8v

Open my heart

And peek inside

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6gg3T7IwH

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOphX4cH4G

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3aD1KBN4

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB6jKaRVQc

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCllUGRcTO

Open my heart

And take a look

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcEBXbtXS
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguseM1ccP4
