My Favorite Poems I've Written

The Mask I Wear

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bEPcFC6qw

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNlSxcjezI

Underneath this mask

I hide my tear filled eyes

I hide my broken smile

So no one else can see

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWLES4ShMx

The plastic seems to crack

As pieces fall off my face

A tear drop slides down my cheek

Almost visible for all to see

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tKALzddyI

My broken smile breaks a little more

And my tear filled eyes

Threaten to drown me

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS4wDYtbPo

Who Am I?

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrXvI1Vr1

I am a sister

I am a daughter

I am a student

I am a teenager

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVEWEOwry0

I am a poet

I am a writer

I am a reader

I am a helper

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPkre8nSkR

I am a lover

I am a hard-worker

I am a weirdo

I am a giver

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBAt50ywmd

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzTuJGQIzw

Fractured Reflection

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmSg7kUEU0

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.

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzeCwJXjyz

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23OOsijZK

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Y3JJ4gTF

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyQR5L8vM

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaICy0Av95

These emotions confuse me

Until I must be told how to feel

My fear will turn to confusion

My anger to acceptence

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQiEbzPzco

My flames shall turn to ash

Yet the smoke will stay a silent cry

A cry for attention

Or a cry for help

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIq7QSrGHb

Sister

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSghSS85A

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNerKS1FRYR

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ477vKrGW9O

The girl I know now is no longer her

She learned to throw a punch

And used that knowledge on me

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrqH1yJ9RW

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnSWp3ysno

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOAJeEvi6f

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6fUeS5spI

Why I Write

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJzwJVNTH2

When I write it’s as if I am alive

Truly alive

Not just surviving but living

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAij7fQQDe

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U98Ttl6vv

When your only friend is yourself

You must learn how to cope

And this is how I find refuge

On paper

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylT9EMSo8a

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

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1pPomJH2L

I Long For...

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTZZmppTjM

I long for a connection

Desperate for the rush

Of just one touch

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO2ivdSW1X

I long for love

The heartwarming

Break out in song

Kind of love

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk0wAIiVey

I long for a break

A break from those

Who live for my pain

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG3gKidtnB

I long for justice

Upon all those

Who have hurt

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYb8GwHw8Q

To love me

Through and through

Until I am my own

Best friend

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomOXNs0El

Open My Heart

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQYoFrRcNA

Open my heart

And peek inside

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlFRAdjyfP

See all my

Secrets,

Sins,

And shame

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6iQZnDElv

Hear the ballad of my heart cry

Listen to the song of my life

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYL2tYIoU

Hear the screams deep down inside

Hear the symphony where all my pain lies

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEREDB7IbhW

Teach me how to love again

Teach me how to breath again

Teach me how to not suffocate

Among my tears of sorrow

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6sV2ISMO7

Open my heart

And take a look

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS7Z8gCyBg
Do you see me?

Or the porcelain doll

I’ve tried to become

116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ZzemJY53
