My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAkYHPg8FN

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLUSYRc7M

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmj2oKjwT1

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UhbULIKMl

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtXHsuTUZk

Who Am I?

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcmyV1PwZx

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPKrAIBA2

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPf46Gj6zW

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bndoxVdxK

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5zmWqc2FG

Fractured Reflection

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn6UuEgvyW

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.

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSSjmgzWyE

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kXTIV0FaJ

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuAJkLXSlB

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrw2U3wPe

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVSGciUpfq

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLb4s3rMLL

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNO8HQxQK6

Sister

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRiWA9xaEE

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoITuoi0W2

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabhIIZIAW8

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pK0COWpuH

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlMitpHks3

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FJkBVmsOS

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74k4u7zAzY

Why I Write

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWYVO1foM7

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngDKzz4oBY

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmW4VXOYc6

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54RPuYCFwJ

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

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleCA6A2rWG

I Long For...

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8JE8WpVu1

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpxiWQQxbe

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

Upon all those

Who have hurt

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

Open My Heart

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZP3Q4AsTJ

And peek inside

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNFkg3wjJf

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkPPtMPnVt

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSGremFfoA

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67fOXOtU0E

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSzw6U4TQM

Open my heart

And take a look

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl6eHUBAa6
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdT7BCRxUX
